Podcasts about John 17

IntroductionWe spend another week considering the doctrine of Limited Atonement. We examine this doctrine using John 17 and the Canons of Dort. Christ's pristly work and his compassion is evident as he goes to the cross. Our problem is that we can have a “scarcity mindset” regarding Christ's work. We might think that limited atonement teaches that there is just enough of Christ's work to go around. The reality is that this doctrine teaches that Christ's work is guaranteed to be applied to Christ's people. Christ does not potentially secure some people, but he certainly secures his people. Christ Accomplishes the Work the Father Gave HimJesus declares in John 17:4, “I have accomplished the work that You gave Me to do.” This means that Christ is conscious he has an assignment. He has met the requirements for his day's work. Christ has done his work. His people are not part of a co operative arrangment. Christ did the work that the Father gave him to do. 
The Canons of Dort rejects the idea that Christ's death was “without a fixed plan.” Jesus is acting as a servant completing the father's assignment. If the plan was to save everyone then Christ's work is sufficient. We will address that potential in a moment. The important thint to note here is that the Father assigned work. Christ consciously accomplished that work. Christ expects his wages. This simply means that Christ has obeyed in the place of his people. He is going to the cross to bear the penalty of sin (Cover/Atone) for the sin. Now, he expects that the father will raise him from the dead.
Therefore, Christ's atonement is not theoretical. It is deliberate, polished, and there are metrics he is espected to meet. Christ knows the expectation and he met the expectation. Therefore, the Father owes him a resurrection. Christ has earned his vindication. (cf. Romans 1:3,4; Romans 4:24-25; 1 Timothy 3:16)Christ Secures His PeopleNow we address the question, “Who are Christ's People?” The second section centers on John 17:2, 6, and 9, showing Christ consciously interceding for a specific group. This group is identified as, “those whom You have given Me.” This group is still in the world, lives in the world, but is not the world. 
He possesses full authority over all flesh, but his application is only to the people that the Father has given him. Eternal life, in Jesus' definition, means knowing God. This means that His people truly experience the blessings of the Spirit as they rightly know God. This is only by the Spirit's work. (John 3) The Canons of Dordt stands against the Arminian claim that grace universally restores human neutrality by a universal assisting or prevenient grace. The Canons uses the strong language that this revives the Pelagian heresy. The log is: if prevenient grace makes us capable of saving ourselves through faith, then Christ's death becomes unnecessary. The canons is working out the consistent implication of prevenient grace. 
The Reformed view maintains that faith does not save; Christ saves. Faith is the God-given instrument by which believers take hold of Christ's accomplished work. Consequently, Christ's prayer for “those You have given Me” assures us that the Lord's people will necessarily receive his blessings. This is not UniversalIn verses like John 17:20–24, Christ extends His prayer beyond the disciples to include “those who will believe through their word.” When people ask, “Well why do missions?” The reason: God uses a means to accomplish his goal. So, simply here Christ is laying out the general call of the gospel will go forth. When we properly understand that God calls his people normally through the gospel and sees to it that the call will be effective in His Spirit then we have every reason to engage in missions. We know that the work will have an end. This is later in the Canons of Dordt. 
Christ is very specific about who receives his work. His intent is not to save humanity in general, but to redeem the people who are one with Him and the Father. His work is going to be applied to the people who will dwell with God forever. 
We might wonder if we are part of Christ's people. When we consider Judas and Peter we see a stark contrast. Judas,(the “son of perdition” (v. 12) betrays Christ. He takes his life out of remorse rather than turning to Christ. (This is a very specific case of suicide, and not a universal commentary). Peter turns to Christ in remorse. The reprobate never sees Christ as a solution. Peter sees Christ as the only solution. Judas is not having a momentary crises, but it is a whole mindset that fails to see Christ's mission. So, when we doubt if Christ loves us then we should believe Christ. One who does not have Christ does not care about Christ. If we struggle in our assurance it testifies that we are God's child, and so believe! Walk in Christ becasue he is your redeemer. 
Christ's high priestly intercession continues today. We have the snippet of Christ praying for the protection of his people. We should never minimize prayer. If our Lord does it as the first order to protect his people then we should be following our savior's lead.ConclusionWe need to realize that limited atonement is not cold exclusivism but comforting assurance. It teaches believers that salvation depends wholly on Christ, not our pedigree, or our performing for God's attention. Faith is how we take hold of Christ. Faith does not save. Faith in Christ saves. It is Christ who saves and faith is the means whereby we take hold of Christ and his his distinc benefits. 
Christ's prayer in John 17 shows His compassionate heart: He wants His people with Him in glory. Christ longs for full fellowship, Christ continues to intercede on our behalf. 
Thus, the doctrine calls Christians to humility, prayer, and gratitude. We are humbled not in our choice for God, but in God's choice of us through Christ.
Because the Redeemer has accomplished His mission and continues to intercede, our salvation stands secure. His faithfulness, not ours, sustains us. That is our peace. Let us walk in faith discerning how to live as living sacrifices unto him.

In this teaching, Jonathan Friz explores the significance of Jesus' prayer for unity among believers in John 17. Building on themes from his book, Jesus Gets What He Prays For, the discussion emphasizes the need for a deeper understanding of divine union and the role of the Holy Spirit in achieving this unity. He encourages listeners to embrace faith and pursue the fulfillment of Jesus' prayer in their lives and communities. This was recorded live at The Greenhouse's Phenomenon gathering in Greenville, NC in April 2025.

This is Jesus, praying to the father on behalf of the original disciples that were made Apostles. He pray to the father to keep the apostles encouraged as they will go out to minister, against great opposition and not to give up when confronted with adversity. He told the father that the words that the He gave Him He gave them to his disciples, and they received them. Also that He sent them out as sheep in the midst of wolves. He also prayed to the father, for those that would receive the word from those apostles and from generation to generation. He prayed for us.

Rev. Cyril A. Stevens – Sermon 1053A recorded on January 12, 1986 teaching from John 17:1-26 – Give Me Your Heart. Pastor Cyril A. Stevens uses the familiar religious phrase “Give your heart to Jesus” as a central metaphor, illustrating spiritual transformation through the medical example of a heart transplant needing life-giving blood to function. This act of giving…

Description: Jesus' final prayer is that we would be united with God. Main Point(s): Just as Christ is one with the Father, he prayed that all believers would be one with God. 

In this episode, as we continue out look at Jesus's high priestly prayer, we talk about how He prays to the Father about keeping His disciples and guarding them spiritually, as well as what is means to be sanctified in the truth.   LTS Website: https://www.lovingthescriptures.com/   Gospel of John Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLo4qXfT78rv1sllXLvq1uvxwrmaUG7XIB   Music: http://www.purple-planet.com

Jesus Is Praying for Us - Part 2, John 17

Send us a text Unity in the Spirit isn't a nostalgic slogan or a distant goal—it's Christianity in the present tense. In this episode, we explore Paul's call to “keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace” as a lived, right-now reality we guard rather than a trophy we earn. Drawing on Jesus' prayer in John 17 and the fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5, we name practical ways unity becomes embodied in everyday church life: slowing our speech, blessing across differences, confessing quickly, sharing the Table, and praying “Come, Holy Spirit” in the space between us. If you're weary of division, this conversation invites you into a hopeful, present-moment apprenticeship with Jesus—where the Spirit stitches diverse people into one Body, today. Support the show If you have any questions about the subjects covered in today's episode you can find us on Facebook at the links below or you can shoot me an email at joe@buddywalkwithjesus.com One Stop Shop for all the links Linktr.ee/happydeamedia

Daily Dose of Hope November 7, 2025   Scripture - John 17   Prayer:  Dear Holy God, Your love is amazing.  Thank you for the way you care for us.  In these next few moments of silence, Lord, help us focus on you...Lord Jesus, help us set aside every distraction and take this time to lean on you.  We want to hear your voice.  Amen.   Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope daily bible reading plan.  We are currently in the book of John as we walk through the Gospels and Acts.  Today, we are deep diving into John 17.    In our passage, John 17, Jesus is praying, out loud, with the disciples around him.  There is a lot of substance here.  You probably noticed that there are three sections to Jesus' prayer, the prayer that God will glorify Jesus, a prayer for the disciples, and a prayer for all believers. Unlike the Lord's Prayer which offers a model for prayer, this prayer is more instructive to the disciples about who they are and who Jesus is to them.  What might it have been like for the disciples to be seated around a table with Jesus as he prayed out loud for them?  Think about what it's like when someone prays out loud for you.  It changes your experience of the prayer.  It makes it very, very personal.    One interesting aspect of this prayer is that Jesus starts by giving a clear definition of eternal life and it isn't the typical one.  He says, ...this is eternal life, that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. That seems rather simple - eternal life is to know God and Jesus. How does Jesus' definition here change what we imagine in this life?   Really, the whole prayer paints a picture about what it looks like to be in relationship with God.  What does it look like for the disciples to be in relationship with God?  What does it look like for us, as the believers who have come after them?  We are to be in unity with God but also in unity with one another.  In fact, the way the world will know that Jesus was sent by God is because of the love and unity of his followers.  Considering the disunity of the body of Christ now and in the past, this just makes me cry!   I was at a conference this past week in which the opening speaker mentioned this specific prayer by Jesus regarding Christian unity.  He said it had been his study and prayer focus for several months now.  He confessed that it used to really bother him because Christians have failed so miserably at being unified.  But after this time of prayer and study, he came to the conclusion that Jesus would not pray something that wasn't possible.  And that makes sense.  It's not in Jesus' character to set us up for failure.  Just because something is difficult does not mean it's impossible.  But it is only possible through the power of the Holy Spirit working in and through us as God's people.  It's going to take a lot of humility and repentance too!!!   What are your thoughts?  Is Christian unity possible?   Blessings, Pastor Vicki
