Fr. Daniel Morgan preaches on John 17:20-26

Jesus Prays for All Believers

 Introduction:

 Who was your favorite teacher?  Why?

 Have you ever taught someone something and he or she “got it”?  What was that like for you?

 What images come to mind when you think of the term “unity”?

 Observation:

             For whom is this prayer?

             How have these believers believed?

             What has Jesus given them in v. 22?  Why?

             How long has the Father loved the Son?          

 Interpretation:

 How is each generation of believers responsible for sharing the Message?

 What kind of unity exists between the Father and the Son?  How is it possible for believers to have that same kind of unity?

 How should this unity affect others?

 What does v. 24 reveal about Jesus’ heart for you?  For the world?

 Application:

 How have you believed through the apostles’ Message?  Who shared the Good News with you?  Who shared it with them?

 How do you treat believers from different denominations?  How can you tangibly demonstrate more unity with them? 

 How can you participate as Jesus continues to make the Father known?
