1. Jesus gives eternal life (1-3)

Jesus prayed that he might glorify the Father. He lived and died for the glory of God, as every person should. He was obedient to death, and, by his death, he fulfilled God's promises. God glorified the Son by raising him from the dead, and by granting him authority to give eternal life. He gives eternal life to all who put their trust in him. Eternal life is having a right relationship with the eternal God, and with his Son Jesus.

2. I completed the work you gave me (4-5)

Jesus glorified God not only in his death, but in his life as well. He raised disciples and planted God's word in their hearts until they could confess their faith. Now Jesus was ready to return to the Father. His hope was in the heavenly kingdom, and he prayed that God might restore to him the glory which he shared with the Father before the world began.

Application: Lord, help me to glorify your name by being obedient to your mission.
One Word: Pray to live for God's glory
