The final request of our Lord, in the last section of this chapter, or the last portion of this prayer, is given in verse 24: “Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me” – “be with Me.” That is the promise to everyone who is redeemed, everyone who is justified, everyone who is Christ’s, that we will one day be in heaven with Him. On paper, on biblical paper to be sure, that is the great end, the glorious end, the incomparable end, the indescribable end to which all of us look and for which we long. But in reality, we live our lives so earthbound, that it’s very difficult for us to experience real anticipation for heaven.
