Joh 17:3 - 8 "And this is eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do. And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed. "I have manifested your name to the people whom you gave me out of the world. Yours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. Now they know that everything that you have given me is from you. For I have given them the words that you gave me, and they have received them and have come to know in truth that I came from you; and they have believed that you sent me."

A fulfilled life an eternal life comes from being intimately related to God in Jesus Christ. Jesus has prepared the disciples in every way to know Him and the Father. His followers were filled with belief. Yet, would their faith hold up in the face of what was to happen.
Jesus needed a prolonged time to talk with Father God. He is the intercessor. He pleads on our behalf.

Jesus advocacy is upon those whom He has been given by the Father, they are chosen of God's own Absolute Love. They belong to God by choice adopted by God and redeemed by Jesus Christ. He is Yeshua Messiah, Isa Al Masih, He is Yahweh. The Spirit of God keeps them in His love through the grace of Jesus. All is fulfilled and foretold according to plan. 

Joh 17:9 - 12 "I am praying for them. I am not praying for the world but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours. All mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them. And I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are one.  While I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given me. I have guarded them, and not one of them has been lost except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled."

God wants us to be filled with His joy, being fulfilled in His presence and bu His power. 

Joh 17:13, 14  "But now I am coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves. I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world."

Jesus wants us to be torn away and kept free from the evil of the world that serves their own desires and the desires of the evil one. They will be kept from Satan's grip. Set apart for God in Christ Jesus. Set apart to walk in truth and know truth. Unified to the Father, Son, Spirit and to one another. In God and in faith. 

Joh 17:15 - 21 "I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.  As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. And for their sake I consecrate myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth.  "I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me.

Jesus wants us to receive the glory of being in God. One with Him, perfectly attached to the perfect and complete in Him. Filled with His Absolute Love. 

Joh 17:22, 23  "The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one,  I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me."

Jesus wants us to be with Him, to come to Him, to abide in Him, to walk with Him and realize eternal life with Him. Sharing fully in the Absolute Love of God. Absolute Love is in God, surrounds God and is constantly overflowing from God. 

Joh 17:24 - 18: 1 "Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world. O righteous Father, even though the world does not know you, I know you, and these know that you have sent me. I made known to them your name, and I will continue to make it known, that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them. When Jesus had spoken these words, he went out with his disciples across the Kidron Valley, where there was a garden, which he and his disciples entered."
