Welcome to Gospel Rant!

The so‑called High Priestly Prayer is breathtaking—larger than our expectations, deeper than our usual prayers. We often ask, “What is God’s will?” The full answer is complex, but here we are handed two crystal‑clear desires straight from the Son’s lips. That must count.

First, that we—Spirit‑filled followers of Jesus—would be one, even as the Father and the Son are one.

Second, that we would know—really know—that the Father loves us even as He loves the Son.

This is not a theologian’s aspiration or a prophet’s wish list. These are among the final requests Jesus made before the cross, and He explicitly prays them “for those who will believe in me through their message.” That includes us.

Surely that alone makes this a fitting candidate for one of the great prayers of the New Testament—and fills the heart with almost dizzying hope.

But honesty presses in: How is it going?
