John 17 Susan Chamberlain Shipe

Jesus Christ and His disciples have left the Upper Room, where they have shared their final meal together. The betrayer is missing as Jesus and the eleven walk through farmland and vineyard toward Gethsemane. He teaches as He touches wheat heads and grape vines. He encourages His friends by calling them overcomers and warns them that a great sorrow will fall over them. Then, He stops and prays. John Chapter 17 is a prayer of intercession - 26 verses in red letters as The Son pleads with The Father, and the reader realizes the Two are indeed One.
