22 “The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one;
23 I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me.
24 “Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.
25 “O righteous Father, although the world has not known You, yet I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me;
26 and I have made Your name known to them, and will make it known, so that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.”

glory - shinning splendor which was given to Jesus, Jesus give to us.
This is showing that we are of Him.
The word “one”
The word “one”
We see that this is spoken of a few times,
the Greek word (one) is not different then our English definition of the word.
but it can go a bit deeper.
It also means one part of the body that is working together.
Jesus prays that this happens so that the world will know the Father, Jesus and those who are in Him.
Jesus wants them to be perfected in unity.
to work together as one unit.
the functions of the body

24 “Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.
This will be in heaven, where one can see the full glory that is His.
Jesus is praying for our eternal status.
Jesus also prays for our eternal relationship
Someday believers will not only see His glory, but share it (1 John 3:2). Until then, we participate in it
Jesus shares that the love of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, that was before the world was created
The love, and unity off the Godhead before the foundation of the earth, the relationship of that is in eternity pass, present and future,
Jesus is asking that we partake in that same loving relationship.
(making soup story…adding things)
25 “O righteous Father, although the world has not known You, yet I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me;
Jesus again is interceding for us. Setting our legitimacy and value before the Father.
The world does not know the Father, but Jesus does, and those who are in Him believe.
Jesus says that the world does not know Him, but He does and His disciples knew Him.
The world has not know the Father but Jesus known Him, in virtue, and unique relationship
Jesus makes a case for us, to include us apart from the world
26 and I have made Your name known to them, and will make it known, so that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.”
Jesus says here that He will make the Father’s name known, and will make it known.
Jesus could be referring to two different things here.
1. Jesus speaks now of the cross, making the Father known through the cross. The victory in the death of the lamb taking the sin of the world, and executing the plan for the redemption of sin.
2. It also can be the world of the Holy Spirit through the lives of his disciples (including us)
Through our witness, The Father will be made know.
And Jesus will be with them the entire time.
teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
Jesus has included us in His glory, into the Glory of God.
It does not mean that we are gods as all, but we have fellowship in Him. And to be loved by God Himself.
I believe it is both.
Once we are in Christ, we are part of something new, we no longer are slaves to sin, but the righteousness.
God allows us to partake in eternal comfort and peace with Him that will be for all eternity.
When the Lord prays fro us, He is praying for our relationship with Him, the Father.
He is not praying for maternal things
