16. Expository study of John 17. John 17:1

17. IESOUS is the name of the incarnate person of Christ. It’s the Greek form of Hebrew for “Joshua or Jehoshua”, which means “Savior.”

18. YEHOSHUA, “the Lord (YEHOVAH or YHVH) is salvation.”

19. “Christ” is Greek CHRISTOS “the Anointed One, Messiah.” “Jesus Christ” means, “the anointed savior.”

20. “Lifting up His eyes to heaven.” His upward look reflects an accepted posture for prayer, cf John 11:41, “Then Jesus raised His eyes, and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.”

21. Jesus is God and has all of the essence of the Godhead. He is coequal and coeternal with the Father. He is speaking from His humanity as He addresses the throne of grace.

22. “The hour has come”, HORA plus the Perfect, Active, Indicative of ERCHOMAI. It represents the the Cross of Jesus Christ. John 12:23-24; 13:1; Mark 14:41.

23. It is going to occur in a point of time but the results will go on forever. The results affect the Angelic Conflict; the Cross is the victory of the Angelic Conflict, Col 2:14; Heb 2:15.

24. John 12:23, “And Jesus answered them, saying, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. 24 Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit”.”

25. “Glorify Your Son” – DOXAZO, Aorist, Active, Imperative; “To render or esteem glorious.” A request to be “clothed in splendor.”

26. Not since the transfiguration (John 1:14; 2 Peter 1:16-18), did His humanity experience the glory of His deity.

27. The Imperative Mood: is a request not only for strength to meet the Cross, but for the power to glorify the Father as a result of His Death and Resurrection, Ascension and Session.

28. “That the Son may glorify You.” This is the purpose of the Cross and Jesus’ glorification, to glorify the Father.

29. Phil. 2:8, “…obedient to the point of death, even death on a Cross.”
