Summary

As we end our week on Jesus’s High Priestly prayer, today we’ll dive into his desire for us to know the Father’s great love. Knowing the love of God for us is essential to healthy Christian living. God’s love is fundamental to our identity as his children and the sacrifice of Jesus. If we aren’t rooted and grounded in the unconditional love of God, we will be like untethered buoys being tossed about in the sea. It may seem elementary that God loves you, but I’d encourage you to open your heart afresh to this reality, that God could reveal his love to you in a real and new way today.

Our Scripture for today comes from John 17:25-26. Today's worship is Goodness of God by Jenn Johnson.

Thank you so much for listening to our final podcast on Jesus’ High Priestly Prayer. I hope and pray that this week has encouraged you.

Even now, Jesus sits at the right hand of the Father, and prays for us. God sees you right where you are, knows your triumphs and struggles, and looks at you with eyes of love. May the reality of Jesus’ prayer over you guide you into greater depths of relationship with God.

Have a wonderful rest of your day, and may God bless you as you seek him.
