“Christ in us”: the glory of our Father’s love… dwelling, manifesting in our hearts toward one another, toward all humanity. “Prayer,” not something we “do”; a Person we’re experiencing, within…
John 17: 15, 20-26 (KJV)
15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil [*that is in this present, evil world].
20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.
25 O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.
26 And I have declared unto them thy name [*Father’s nature in The Lamb], and will declare it: [*so] that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
