“What Does Jesus Want?” John 17:24-26
The main question that we’re going to talk about tonight is, what does Jesus want? Many of us our very familiar with the old, possibly tired acronym, WWJD (What Would Jesus Do?) But how can we ever know what would Jesus do in any given situation if we don’t know what Jesus wants? It is...
