Pr. Jon Niketh, preaching

It is possible to hear in Jesus’ high priestly prayer, a prayer he offered shortly before his death, the petitions of the ascended Lord for his own throughout history—to our day—and beyond. Jesus prays for us. In holy baptism we become believers in God, have our robes washed in the flood of Christ’s forgiveness, and receive the gift of life forever with all the saints.

Acts 1:1-11 Jesus sends the apostles Psalm 97 Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous. (Ps. 97:12) Revelation 22:12-14, 16-17, 20-21 Blessed are those who wash their robes John 17:20-26 Jesus prays that the disciples will be one and abide in his love
