John 17 reveals that Jesus explicitly prays for those given to Him by the Father, affirming His role as an intercessor.

The assurance of Jesus' intercession for believers is pronounced in John 17, where He states, ‘I pray for them; I do not pray for the world, but for those whom you have given me’ (John 17:9). This reveals that His prayers are targeted specifically for the elect, those chosen by the Father. Throughout this prayer, Jesus articulates His role in preserving and securing the salvation of His followers, showcasing that His intercessory work is founded in His perfect character and divine authority. This truth offers profound comfort and assurance to believers, affirming that Jesus actively remembers and advocates for them before the Father.
