Those whom You gave Me I have kept; and none of them is lost except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled. 13 But now I come to You, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have My joy fulfilled in themselves. 14 I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 15 I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one.

Take Away:

Christ's very purpose in coming to earth was to be the sacrifice for our sins and open a door of access to the Father. Through His body and blood, we now can have a deep relationship with our Father. The Father gave us the Holy Spirit which points us to Christ and Christ points us the the Father. We now worship a triune God which is one.
