Reading a prayer

The precious prayer of Jesus to God.
He let us see it, hear it, know it.
The God of the universe in communion with the Father.
The Son shows His concern for us in this prayer.
"I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one- I in them and you in me-"
The Son shows His Deity:
"and now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began."
They show their fulfilled plan...that Jesus came to do what needed to be done. The agony of our sin on Him. And worst of all the separation of the Trinity. The deep and gut-wrenching tearing of the Son from the Father. One suffering physically and both emotionally to finish it...the plan. The holy one, pure and blameless conquering death through His obedience.
Why? For us to be apart of them. ..
"so that they may be brought to complete unity".

John 17.
