John 17:11 read for what the name actually is. He is addressed as Holy Father and asks that they be kept in the name which was given him - so the name given is Father. Neville presses the logic: how could he give me the name Father unless at the same time he gives me the son who makes me a father? I cannot be a father and have no son; there must be a son to bear witness of my fatherhood. So the gift of the name and the gift of the only begotten son are one act, and the son is presented without anyone telling you who he is - you know he is your son, and you know that he knows you are his father. At that moment you inherit the glory that is the Father, though the inheritance cannot be fully realised while the physical garment is still worn; when it is taken off for the last time one is one with God the Father, 'that they may be one, even as we are one'. And since every man comes to be the father of the same one son, our name will be one name and the many remain individualised.
