Study Note
The climax of the High Priestly Prayer — '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' — frames the entire salvific purpose in terms of eternal, pre-temporal love. The petition to 'see my glory' grounds the ultimate destiny of believers not in abstract beatitude but in the relational experience of the Father's love for the Son communicated to the community of believers. The phrase 'before the foundation of the world' (pro katabolēs kosmou) recurs in Ephesians 1:4 and 1 Peter 1:20, establishing that the election of the people, the sacrifice of the Lamb, and the love of the Father all precede creation. The verse grounds Christian eschatology in Christology: heaven is participation in the Father-Son relationship.
