Jesus prayed for us, for you and for me! In His High Priestly Prayer, recorded in John 17:20-26, Jesus prayed first for Himself, then for His disciples, and finally for those who would later come to faith through His disciples’ teachings—you and me. John 17:20-26 contains this portion of His prayer. In it Jesus prays for unity among His followers. It shouldn’t surprise us that Jesus prayed for us. In fact, He continues to intercede for us in heaven (Romans 8:34; Hebrews 7:25). In the same way the Holy Spirit intercedes on our behalf (Romans 8:27). The Son and the Spirit are constantly praying to the Father for us. As in His High Priestly Prayer, unity among Christians must be a constant theme of Jesus’ intercession for us. Because Jesus made unity a priority in His prayer, we should make unity a priority in our lives. Let’s learn to get along with one another!
