Reflecting on Jesus’ Prayer for Glory (John 17:1-5)

In John 17:1-5, Jesus turns His eyes to heaven and prays for His Father’s glory. He acknowledges the hour has come and asks to be glorified so He can glorify God in return. Jesus reminds us that He was given authority to grant eternal life to those entrusted to Him. He defines eternal life as knowing the only true God and Jesus Christ, whom He sent. Through finishing the work God gave Him, Jesus has already brought glory on earth. Now, He seeks the glory He shared with the Father before the world began. This prayer invites us to reflect on the relationship between divine glory, authority, and eternal life.
