John 17 Christ High Priestly Intercessory Prayer (Part 2):

Christ High Priestly Intercessory Prayer (Part 2):

Christ As High Priest And Intercessor


Hebrews 4:13-16


13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things [are] naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.


Hebrews 6:19-20

Which [hope] we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which 

entereth into that within the veil; 20 Whither the forerunner is for us entered, [even] Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

Hebrews 9:28

28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him

1 John 1:6

If we say that we have fellowship with him,and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth (not practicing the truth):

1 John 2:1-10


Jesus Commandments:

John 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as have

 loved you, that ye also love one another. 35 By this shall all [men] know that ye are my 

disciples, if ye have love one to another.


1 John 2:1-10 (continued)


Hebrews 9:1-28 

1 Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary.

For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary.
And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all;
Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;
And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak particularly.
Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God.
But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people:
The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:
Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;
10 Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.
11 But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;
12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:
14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.
17 For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.
18 Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood.
19 For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people,
20 Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.
21 Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.
22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
23 It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:
25 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;
26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:


* C.I. Scofield Reference Notes

[1] Glorify
Seven petitions:
(1) That Jesus may be glorified as the Son who has glorified the Father (John 17:1), 
Philippians 2:9-11.
(2) for restoration to the eternal glory (John 17:5);
(3) For the safety of believers from
(a) the world (John 17:11)
(b) the evil one (John 17:15);
(4) for the sanctification of believers (John 17:17);
(5) for the spiritual unity of believers (John 17:21);
(6) that the world may believe (John 17:21);
(7) that believers may be with Him in heaven to behold and share His glory (John 17:24).
As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.
[2] give eternal life
Christ's gifts to those whom the Father gave Him: 
• Eternal life John 17:2; 
• The Father's name (John 17:6,26 20:17)
• The Father's words (John 17:8,14)
• His own joy (John 17:13)
• His own glory (John 17:22)
[3] given him
Seven times Jesus speaks of believers as given to Him by the Father
(John 17:2,6,9,11,12,24)
• Jesus Christ is God's love-gift to the world (John 3:16)
• And believers are the Father's love-gift to Jesus Christ. 
• It is Christ who commits the believer to the Father for safe keeping, so that the 
believer's security rests upon the Father's faithfulness to His Son Jesus Christ.
they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.
