Christ our Interceder
During His earthly ministry, Jesus prays to the Father interceding for his followers. John Ch. 17. This was the longest recorded prayer of Jesus in the Bible. It was followed by Jesus’s agony in Gethsemane and betrayal by Judas Iscariot.

I have kept them in Thy name...and none of them is lost but the son of perdition. vs. 12.
They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world...sanctify them through Thy truth. vs. 14-17.
As Thou hast sent me into the world...I also send them into the world. vs.18.
I pray for them and for all who shall believe on me through their word that they all may be one in us. vs.20-23.
I will that they be with me where I am...for Thou loves me before the foundation of the world. vs. 24-25.
