No one has ever plumbed the depths of the meaning these words in John Chapter 17. It is questionable whether any human mind can follow the thought expressed in this prayer of the communion of Deity. And yet, there are some things we can know.
Even on the threshold of death on the cross, a death made necessary by the weight of the sins of a world on His heart, the Son of God thought constantly of others. His concern, which is so manifest in the prayer, is for the preservation of His disciples. And not for them only, but for all the vast, unnumbered multitude of believers who should afterward believe on Him.
Never can there ever be any further doubt of the intense love of Christ for His own.
See John Chapter 17

what a profound example of love that we should emulate as we labor in his vineyard. Even when under the weight of carrying our cross daily; how easy it is to be self-centered as opposed to being like our Saviour`s example. He trully shows us how our vision needs to be bigger than ourselves....
