Ascension and Cultivation, John 17:20-26

On this Sunday after the Ascension, we hear from Jesus’ high priestly prayer found in John 17. As Jesus prays for all who believe through the Disciples, we are reminded that in his Ascension, Jesus continues to pray this prayer for us before the Father. He is thus cultivating us that he might be in us and we in him.
