Christ is hours away from His death and as He is approaching the Garden of Gethsemane with His disciples He begins to pray to God the Father. The curtains of this prayer are pulled back and we have the transcripts of this inter-trinitarian prayer between the eternal Father and the eternal Son. In this prayer we see the heart of Christ and what is of the most importance to Him as His hour has come and the cross is in view. Jesus' desire is that His Father is glorified in His obedience and finishing the work He was sent by the Father to accomplish. He is also desiring and praying to return to His Father and to the glory He had with Him before the world was. His heart and mind were on His disciples and for all that the Father had given Him (the elect) as the cross is at hand. If you are a Christian, on the night of His betrayal and arrest with the cross just hours away, Christ prayed for you as it would be for His elect that He would soon die for and declare "it is finished!" The life Christ lived is personal, this prayer of Christ is personal, the cross is personal, the resurrection is personal, the ascension is personal, and salvation is personal! How unworthy we are and how unimaginable it is that the eternal Logos, the Creator, the Son of Man, the Son of God, God Himself would pray for and intercede for His people as His hour had come. He continues to intercede for His people as their High Priest for as long as He lives which is forever!
