Mark Jones: No one would have been saved if Jesus did not offer his High-Priestly Prayer in John 17

  

But here is the important point: there would be no Christians if Jesus had not offered this prayer (John 17:26). The contents of this prayer are more important than the air we breathe. We do not have because we do not ask, according to James (James 4:3). Jesus asked and so he received. He believed, in faith, that he would procure all that he asked for in his high-priestly prayer. (Mark Jones, Knowing Christ [Edinburgh: The Banner of Truth Trust, 2015], 98)
