Never does Jesus say in prayer, 'Our Father,' though He directs His disciples to do it; but always "Father," and once, during His Agony, "My Father:" thus severing Himself as Man from all other men, as the "Separate from sinners," though "Bone of our bone, and Flesh of our flesh.

The conflict in Gethsemane has the character of a sudden crisis, of a violent shock, in some sort of an explosion, after which calmness was re- established in the soul of Jesus as quickly as it had been troubled. The safety of a Christian lies in this, that God loves him; but the joy, the comfort, and happiness of a Christ, consists in the knowledge, in the sensible apprehension and feeling, of his love; therefore Christ closeth his prayer for his members, with this affectionate and comprehensive petition: Let the love wherewith thou hast loved me, be in them, and I in them. But hardly has the sound of the last word died away, when He passes with the disciples over the Brook Kedron to Gethsemane-and the bitter conflict draws on. Glorify thy Son, by signs and miracles, lest dying so disgraceful a death, I seem to be no more than another man: that thy Son may glorify thee, that my death may make thee praised and glorified. ., pp554-5.]. xii., p. 168.

It is a passage which "surpasses all literature in its setting forth the identity of being, power, and love, in the twofold personality of the God-Man."[25]. In the first petition of this prayer the disciples are not identified with Him, and yet He does not by the use of the singular person exclude them.

It is pervaded with pathos, which runs as an undertone even through the triumphant passages both of the valedictory and the prayer. He looked towards heaven, not as if Godâs presence were confined to heaven, for He filleth also the earth, (Jeremiah 23:24,) but because it is there chiefly that his majesty is displayed. The sacerdotal prayer is, as it were, the amen added by Jesus to His work accomplished here on earth; it forms thus the climax of this part, which is intended to trace out the development of faith in the disciples (chs. The pathos and the sorrow are soon to deepen into the immediate agonies of Gethsemane and the crucifixion; the triumphal tone is sustained by a prophetic recognition of the victory in the more distant future.

Indeed, as this Intercessory prayer of Christ, though actually presented on earth and before His death, represents His work in the flesh in nearly every verse as already past-insomuch that He says, "Now I am no more in the world" - we are to regard it, and the Church has always so regarded it, as virtually a prayer from within the veil, or a kind of specimen of the things He is now asking, and the style in which He now asks them, at the right hand of God.

The first word of the prayer is ‘Father;’ not ‘our Father’ as in the Lord’s Prayer, but simply ‘Father,’ and so throughout, though twice with ‘righteous’ or ‘holy’ connected with the name (John 17:5; John 17:11; John 17:21; John 17:24-25). The main purpose of these words is to stress where the response will come from, but it also illustrates how Jesus prayed at this moment (compare John 11:41). John 11:41; Mark 7:34; Matthew 14:19. And in this consummation does this intercession most fitly end. And after my resurrection, I will yet further declare it to them, who are yet in a great measure ignorant and imperfect in their notions of thee; that thy love wherewith thou hast loved me may be further communicated to them, and be derived to them, and abide in and upon them for ever; because I am in them (so some would have it read, though the word be kagw, which properly is, and I, as we translate it). ., pp554-5.

But this was an occasion of which the impression was indelible, and the upward look could not be passed over. But it may not be amiss to call the reader's attention to the studious care with which Jesus avoids mixing Himself up with His disciples as He associates Himself with the Father. And I have declared, [ egnoorisa (Greek #1107)] - 'I declared' or 'made known'. âOur Father,â in the prayer taught to the disciples, and âHoly Fatherâ and âRighteous Fatherâ in John 17:11; John 17:25. ‘In order that your Son may glorify you.’ The result of His receiving His glory will be that He brings great glory on the Father, for His glorious work is at the behest of His Father, and reveals the wonder of God’s being.

And I have declared — I made known or communicated. He knows that on the morrow He will die. How exhaustive is the mode in which Jesus teaches the ‘name’ of God, the revelation of the Father in the Son,—‘I made it known to them; they know; I shall make it known to them!’ It is the expression of complete revelation, similar—so far as in such a matter we may speak of similarity—to ‘Which was, and is, and is to come.’ Therefore there naturally follows to all who embrace this revelation a perfect entering into that of which it tells, into that love which unites the Father and the Son, and which shall be in them, as Jesus Himself shall be in them, the unbroken rest of ‘peace’ after the toils, the eternal sunshine of ‘joy’ after the sorrows, of the world. "THOU IN ME," He says, "and I IN THEE" and again, "I in them, and they in US." This eternal love of the Father, resting first on Christ, is by His Spirit imparted to and takes up its permanent abode in all that believe in Him; and "He abiding in them, and they in Him" (John 15:5), they are "one Spirit." The second asks whether John had, then, in his hands tablets and pencil to take down word for word the prayer of Jesus. In this context, the bearing of fruit is generalized.

John 17:26 And I have made Your name known to them and will continue to make it known, so that the love You have for Me may be in them, and I in them." Anderson said: It was the accurate memory of the apostle John, aided by the Holy Spirit, that produced the record of this amazing prayer, and not his philosophical imagination that did it. There is not, indeed, in the words themselves actual demonstration that our Lord pronounced His last discourses under the open heaven. Kindred word to ginosko (App-132. ) In prayer believers draw near to God, not merely when necessity drives them, but under the promptings of filial love, and just because "it is good for them to draw near to God." THE COMPANION OF LOVE. Large it is—for it reaches from hell to heaven, and girdles the universe. Precious Lord Jesus! “No man cometh unto the Father but by Me.” He that knows not Christ knows not the Father. Test drive it and tell us about your experience. So that believers should never doubt that whensoever they pour out their hearts for what this prayer teaches them to ask of the Father in Jesus' name a double pleading for the same things enters into the Father's ready ear-theirs on earth and Christ's in heaven; in their case the Spirit making intercession with groaning which often cannot be uttered (see the note at Romans 8:26), and so, as the Spirit who takes of the things of Christ and shows them unto us, making our cries to chime in with the mightier demands of Him who can say, "Father, I WILL.". Some in themselves; some in Christ. And ye no less, whom in all the after ages of the Church, God the Spirit hath called to the ministry; how are ye all, from age to age, included, in this rich priestly blessing of my God! It throws a strong light upon the question of Inspiration also, which in this case at least must be held to attach to the language as well as to the thoughts which it conveys. (6) Small indeed was the saving fruit of Christ's personal ministry-few the souls that were thoroughly won to Him; but those few-how dear were they to Him, as the representatives and pledges of a mighty harvest to come! Beyond this embankment the water of life may not be sought, and will not be found; and the spurious liberality which would break down this embankment is to be eschewed by all to whom the teaching of the Lord Jesus is sacred and dear. John 17:26. (John 17:17). 4. do thou, with uplifted eyes, and thankful heart, behold thy God and Savior, in this most blessed representation the Holy Ghost hath made of him, in this Chapter, here entering upon His High Priestly Office; and through faith, come under the golden Censer of his Offering! John 17:3. This is the stability and glory of the universe. the blessedness for all of this description and character, to have a consciousness of being interested in Christ's prayer; from being sent forth to the ministry from Christ's ordination: Holy Father! John 2:4, John 7:30, John 8:20, John 13:32). This alone can adequately explain the apostolic preference for "Jesus Christ," as used so many times in the New Testament. So begins the second half of Johnâs Gospel. Connected as it is with the preceding words, this expression must mean: "And in loving them thus, it will still be myself in them whom thou wilt love, and thus thy love will not attach itself to anything that is defiled." The first of these stages is, in this prayer, viewed as past. He has compressed into the last moments given Him for conversation with His own the most sublime and glorious sentiments ever uttered by mortal lips. ch. 1. And then may we sing --, `So nigh, so very nigh to God, I cannot nearer be; For in the Person of His Son, I am as near as He. The Prayer naturally divides itself into thee parts: First, What relates to the Son Himself, who offered the prayer (John 17:1-5); secondly, what had reference more immediately to those Eleven disciples in whose hearing the prayer was uttered (John 17:6-19); thirdly, what belongs to all who should believe on Him through their word, to the end of the world (John 17:20-24); with two concluding verses, simply breathing out His soul in a survey, at once dark and bright, of the whole past results of His mission. on StudyLight.org Another reason was, that, by looking towards heaven, we are reminded that the majesty of God is far exalted above all creatures. ...

He was ready to face His fate. xiii., p. 5, etc. It is more than that God may love the disciples, even as He loved the Son; it is that they may so know the nature of God that this love may be in them, dwelling in them as the principle of their life. He had said this variously before (John 17:6; John 17:8; John 17:14; John 17:22); but here He repeats it for the sake of adding what follows. This is a promise to be pleaded in prayer. For if they know Thee, they will likewise know that I am not different from Thee, but thy own well begotten Son.
