What does the Bible say about Christ's prayer for us?

In John 17, we find the longest record of Jesus' prayers, highlighting His intimate communication with the Father just before His crucifixion. This prayer is not just significant because of its length but because it captures the heart of Christ as He intercedes for His people. He prays not only for His immediate disciples but also for all believers, emphasizing the unity and protection they should experience in Him. His prayer serves as a reminder of His ongoing intercessory role for the church, as He is ever living to make intercession for us (Hebrews 7:25).
