58: Jesus' High Priestly Prayer — From the Garden to the Cross

Share Life: Stories & Systems To Live Better & Work Smarter — With Jason Scott Montoya

Episode Type: Special Edition Welcome to another special edition of the Share Life podcast. We're in an ongoing podcast series, as part of the discovery process for my next book project, From The Garden to the Cross: How Jesus' Harrowing Mission Shows Us The Way. In this final From The Garden to the Cross discussion series, we're rewinding and reflecting on Jesus' Prayer at the end of the Farewell Discourse from John chapter 17. In this conversation series, we've already discussed Jesus' final message to his disciples before the passion began, Jesus' agonizing prayer in the garden, his middle of the night arrest, Judas' betrayal, a night of scheming to kill Jesus, the three denials by Peter, the death of Judas, Pilot asking Jesus about Truth, Herod directing Jesus to entertain him, Pilate washing his hands of responsibility, Simon carrying Jesus' cross, Jesus forgiving his perpetrators, and Jesus' final finishing moments on the cross. Now, we're rewinding in time once again, to the moments right before we enter the Garden of Gethsemane to see and reflect on Jesus's intercessory prayer before his sacrificial journey begins. His prayer has three sections; one focused on God's glory, another for the disciples before him, and finally for believers across all time.
