This whole chapter is Jesus praying,,,V.20 - 26, Jesus is praying for people that are believers. There are many themes carried over from one chapter to the next, but it strikes me that now Jesus is praying for oneness, for unity, of believers. Again a very similar verse to the previous chapter when Jesus prays for "complete unity...then the world may know that you sent me"
I'm sure there is a much deeper need / importance of this unity between believers than what exists today. But... what and how??
v.24 " Father, I want those you have given me, to be with me where I am"..... Isn't that the words of a dad praying for his kids? And aren't those the words we pray for our best friends?
(I'm brain dead tonite... can't complete any thoughts)
Hey... 17 days in a row... This could be habit forming!
