§. 126. Of Christs bringing others to God.
The Lord Christ thought it not enough to present himself to his Father, but he brings others also, whom he joins with himself, by this copulative AND. Thus in that powerful prayer which at his going out of the world he made to his Father for himself, he joins those whom his Father had given unto him, and saith, I pray for them which thou hast given me, for they are thine. Neither pray I for these alone (meaning his Disciples) but for them also which shall believe on me through their word, &c. Joh. 17. 9, 20.
THe Lord Christ thought it not enough to present himself to his Father, but he brings others also, whom he joyns with himself, by this copulative AND. Thus in that powerfull prayer which at his going out of the world he made to his Father for himself, he joyns those whom his Father had given unto him, and saith, I pray for them which thou hast given me, for they are thine. Neither pray I for these alone (meaning his Disciples) but for them also which shall beleeve on me through their word, &c. Ioh. 17. 9, 20.
For their sake Christ came into the world: For their sake he sanctified himself, Joh. 17. 19. For their sakes he became poor, 2 Cor. 8. 9. For their sakes he did and endured what he did and endured. See §. 83.
