John 17:1 | The Glory Of The Father & The Son

Preacher: Joel Fair
John 17:1

Martyn Lloyd-Jones
If we had nothing but John 17 we would surely have more than enough to sustain us, because here our Lord has given us an insight into our whole position, and into everything that is of importance and of value to us while we are in this world of time. We can do nothing better, therefore, than to look at
this prayer, and to consider what he has to say.

John 1:1-3
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.

Hebrews 1:1-2
Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world.

Hebrews 4:14-5:1
Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. For every high priest chosen from among men is appointed to act on behalf of men in relation to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.

Thomas Manton
The office of a mediator, or day's-man, is 'to lay his hand upon both,' Job 9:33; to treat and deal with both parties. Hitherto Christ hath dealt with men in the name of God, opening his counsel to us; now he dealth with God in the name of men, opening our case to him

Psalm 25:1
To you, O LORD, I lift up my soul.

Psalm 103:19
The LORD has established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom

Psalm 121:1
I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come?

Colossians 3:
If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.

Thomas Manton
We may come with hope; we speak to our Father: but we must speak with reverence; we speak to our Father in heaven. When we lift up our eyes, and look upon that stately fabric, the awe of God should fall upon us.

John 13:31-32 31
When he had gone out, Jesus said, "Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in him. If God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and glorify him at once.
