them, and Thou in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, that
the world may know that Thou didst send Me, and didst love
them, even as Thou didst love Me.” He said that the glory You
have given Me is My union with You; that we’re One and that
they’ll be One as We are One.
John 1:14, “And the Word became flesh, and dwelt
among us, and we beheld His glory..” That glory, said simply,
the glory that gave Jesus the provision to live, was the Father
Himself. John 17:21, “…that they may all be one, even as
Thou, Father, art in Me and I in Thee, that they also may be in
us, that the world may believe that Thou didst send Me.” The
Father gave Himself to the Son, so that He could live as a man.
These verses from the lips of Jesus explain the life He lived.
John 8:28&29, “Jesus therefore said, ‘When you lift up the son
of Man, then you know that I am He, and I do nothing on My
own initiative, but I speak these things as the Father taught Me.”
It’s an amazing truth that Jesus said, “I do nothing on My own
initiative.”
John 6:38, “For I have come down from heaven, not to
do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.” He said, “I
do not seek My own will; I seek My Father’s will.” We know
from Gethsemane in Matthew 26:39, that He didn’t want His
own will, “And He went a little beyond them, and fell on His
face and prayed, saying, ‘My Father, if it is possible, let this cup
pass from Me; yet not as I will, but as Thou wilt.’” Jesus said,
“I do nothing on My own. I do not seek My own will.” John
10:37&38, “If I do not do the works of My Father, do not
believe Me; but if I do them, though you do not believe Me,
believe the works, that you may know and understand that the
Father is in Me, and I in the Father.’”

We say that Jesus did many miracles. He didn’t do any
miracles! The Father did them! Listen to John 14:10, “Do you
not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? The
words that I say to you I do not speak on My own initiative, but
the Father abiding in Me does His works.” He said “God
Himself put Himself in Me and I initiate nothing and He does
everything. It’s not My will; it’s His will. It’s not My works;
