Glorifying Jesus – John 17 – Draw Bible Stories Project

Glorifying Jesus Prayer (John 17)

Messiah’s Heart – rock, crown, cross, cloud – Jesus praised his Heavenly Father. He asked God to be glorified by his death on the cross to save the world.

Jesus’ Glory – God, cloud, Jesus, angel – Jesus celebrated his unity with the Father. He fulfilled his purpose on earth. He is worthy to receive all praise.

Gospel Mission – disciple, road, earth, stars, cloud – Jesus prayed for all his disciples to take the Gospel to the world. Jesus prayed for all nations to believe.

Truth Sign – disciples, crown, cloud, flame – Jesus prayed for all disciples to be united with the Spirit. Our unity is God’s sign for the lost to believe in the Gospel.
