I have declared to them Your name, and will declare it, that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them. —John 17:26, NKJV
Jesus is praying that the body of Christ will love Him the way the Father loves Him. This is an awesome prayer. Jesus will reveal the Father, and in turn, the Father will capture our hearts for the Son. Here we can see some of the dynamic cooperation at work within the Godhead. God the Father desires a people who love Jesus as He does, a people who see and feel what God sees and feels when He looks at His beloved Son.

Count me in, God. I want to be a passionate believer who sees and feels what You see and feel. Reveal Your Son in all His glory to my life.
God will have a passionate church that
loves Jesus as God loves Him.
