Having given himself for our sins once for all (Heb. 7:27; 1 Pet. 3:18), Jesus now prays for us without ceasing (Rom. 8:34; Heb. 7:25). Because the disciples were given permission to eavesdrop on this prayer, we know what Jesus thinks of us and what he is now praying for us.


Jesus counts us a love gift to him from the Father (John 17:6; see also v. 24). He treasures and cherishes us as a bridegroom treasures his bride, for that is what we are (Eph. 5:22–33). Should anyone ask, “Who gives these sinners to this Savior?” the Father responds enthusiastically, “I do!” Election is the most wonderful prearranged marriage imaginable.


Because we are already beloved by Jesus, he prays for the increase of our joy—the same joy that fills his own heart. He also prays for our protection in the world—a battlefield that is also our mission field. Jesus doesn’t pray that we won’t suffer (Phil. 1:29) but that we will be kept from the Evil One, our defeated foe who seeks to sabotage our worship and work in the world.

Jesus also prays for our sanctification by the truth of the Father’s words. The Father’s words will always point us to Jesus—who is our “wisdom from God,” our “righteousness and sanctification and redemption” (1 Cor. 1:30). The same grace that justifies us is the grace that sanctifies us. All saving benefits come from our union with Christ.
