Jesus’ prayer is not for the disciples alone. Jesus prays also for those who will believe in him through the disciples’ message, that we may be one, just as the Father is in Jesus and Jesus in the Father. May we also be in the Father and EJsus so that the world may belive the Father has sent Jesus. Jesus has given us the glory that the Father gave him, that we may be one as the father and Jesus are one. Jesus in us and the Father in Jesus. May we be brought to complete unity to let the world know that the Father sent Jesus and have loved us even as the Father has loved Jesus.

Jesus wants those the Father has givne him to be with him where he is, and to see his glory, the glory the Father has given him because the father loved him before the creation of the world.

Though the world does not know the Father Jesus knows the Father, and we know that the Father has sent Jesus. Jesus has made known to us, and will continue to make the Father known in order that the love the Father has for Jesus may be in us and that Jesus himself may be in us.

-John 17 (in third person)
