When Jesus had spoken these things, He lifted His eyes to heaven and said, Father, the hour has come. Glorify and exalt and honor and magnify Your Son, so that Your Son may glorify and extol and honor and magnify You. John 17:1 Amplified Bible
The 17th Chapter of John is a well-known prayer that Jesus prayed before His
crucifixion. Many times in the New Testament we are given examples of Jesus
praying, examples He set for us, teaching us how to communicate with God. If Jesus needed to spend time in prayer, certainly we have an even greater need. E.M. Bounds wrote these words in his
book on "Prayer":
What mystery that the Son of God should be under the law of
prayer . . . How strange that the blessings that came to Him were impregnated
and purchased by prayer.
