From his human heart, the Son of God prays to the Father in these words: “I in them and you in me, that they may become completely one, so that the world may know that you have sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me” (v. 23).
Let us listen with amazement to these words. Jesus is telling us that God loves us as he loves himself. The Father does not love us any less than he loves his only-begotten Son.
In other words, with an infinite love…Christ himself bears witness to this when he says to the Father: “You loved me before the foundation of the world” (v. 24)...
