The Father in Jesus and Jesus in the Father

 Jesus and the Father are so intertwined. Extremely close. But remember he said he and a disciple can be similarly close and intertwined. Jesus only exists because of the Father, on many levels, in many ways. The Father is fully invested in Jesus, more than in any other person, any other being. The Father is happy for you to see His Son, Jesus, and take that as seeing Himself. He lets Himself be fully represented by Jesus and makes Jesus a true representation of Himself by keeping Jesus righteous utterly in line with His own righteousness and fully tested as being so, even unto death, in all situations of life and death. When He says He is well pleased with Jesus He really means that in every way. So He is fully OK with Jesus being a full representation of Himself. And Jesus is that way because of the Father. It is from time immemorial that the Father has willed this and spoken it into being so.
