Questions for Further Study or Group Discussion:

  1. Read John 17:1-8. What stands out to you in the opening of Jesus’ prayer? How does Jesus’ first request here compare with the first petition of the Lord’s Prayer in Matthew 6:9-13?
  2. What is the work Jesus was to complete (v. 4)? When did God “give” this work to Jesus to do? What do we learn about relationship between the Father and the Son in this prayer?
  3. What is the glory of Christ? How do we receive “grace upon grace” from the glory of Christ?
  4. What is eternal life? Why is “knowledge” life?
  5. How might our prayers be shaped like Jesus’ prayer?
