26 And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
26 I have made you
26 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."
26 I have made your very being known to them - Who you are and what you do - And continue to make it known, So that your love for me Might be in them Exactly as I am in them.
26 And 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."
26 I have revealed you to them, and I will continue to do so. Then your love for me will be in them, and I will be in them."
6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
6 to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves.
6 to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved.
6 He wanted us to enter into the celebration of his lavish gift-giving by the hand of his beloved Son.
6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved.
6 So we praise God for the glorious grace he has poured out on us who belong to his dear Son.
(Read Ephesians 1:3-8)
Spiritual and heavenly blessings are the best blessings; with which we cannot be miserable, and without which we cannot but be so. This was from the choice of them in Christ, before the foundation of the world, that they should be made holy by separation from sin, being set apart to God, and sanctified by the Holy Spirit, in consequence of their election in Christ. All who are chosen to happiness as the end, are chosen to holiness as the means. In love they were predestinated, or fore-ordained, to be adopted as children of God by faith in Christ Jesus, and to be openly admitted to the privileges of that high relation to himself. The reconciled and adopted believer, the pardoned sinner, gives all the praise of his salvation to his gracious Father. His love appointed this method of redemption, spared not his own Son, and brought believers to hear and embrace this salvation. It was rich grace to provide such a surety as his own Son, and freely to deliver him up. This method of grace gives no encouragement to evil, but shows sin in all its hatefulness, and how it deserves vengeance. The believer's actions, as well as his words, declare the praises of Divine mercy.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on John 17:26
Commentary on John 17:24-26
(Read John 17:24-26)
Christ, as one with the Father, claimed on behalf of all that had been given to him, and should in due time believe on him, that they should be brought to heaven; and that there the whole company of the redeemed might behold his glory as their beloved Friend and Brother, and therein find happiness. He had declared and would further declare the name or character of God, by his doctrine and his Spirit, that, being one with him, the love of the Father to him might abide with them also. Thus, being joined to Him by one Spirit, they might be filled with all the fulness of God, and enjoy a blessedness of which we can form no right idea in our present state.
