In that the Father is in him, that whoever finds him has found the Father. Recall how Philip had asked, saying, Show us the Father; and Jesus replied, he who has seen me has seen the Father. He is the Way; not merely that one must go through him to get to the Father, but that when one has arrived at him one is already with the Father. And I am in the Father, he also says. The Father is fully invested in what Jesus does: in his sacrifice the Father is present and showing forth his love.
A third thing he says in this Gospel (St. John 17) is that his Apostles are also in him and he in them. Here is where the Holy Spirit functions: through their ministry. In this Holy Ministry Christ and his Father are found. Sermon for midweek of Exaudi is here.
