John 17:20-26 20 “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— 23 I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. 24 “Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world. 25 “Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me. 26 I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them.”
Last time we talked about the Lord Jesus praying for the apostles and disciples before he left the world. Here the Lord Jesus prays for all the believers so that they may be one. The Lord Jesus talked about the glory that the Father gave him, he has given to the believers. This glory is the presence of God and the presence of the Lord. This glory makes the disciples one as the Father and the Lord Jesus are one. The unity of the believers makes the world know that the Father has sent the Lord Jesus, and that the Father loves the believers as he loves the Lord Jesus. The Heavenly Father loved the Lord Jesus before the creation of the world. Here we see once again that the Lord Jesus existed before the creation of the world. The Trinity God is three separate beings, but they are one. The Lord Jesus said that He and the Father are one. They are not the same beings, but they are united in one.
May God bless you and your family. 🙏😀
