First, it was His glory that I saw; then it was His sacrifice that I beheld; then it was His voice that I heard; then it was His reward that I felt; then it was His Father that I met. He is awesome beyond words. He is my destination. He is my Yahweh-Elohim!

The Word spoken of by John 1:1-3 shared God's divine glory from clear on back to
the first verse of the first chapter of Genesis. But when the Word came into the
world as the flesh of John 1:14, he didn't come in the likeness of divine flesh,
rather, he came in the likeness of ordinary Jewish flesh; which has no divine glory
of its own to speak of. (Rom 1:3, Rom 8:3, Phil 2:5-7, and Heb 2:16-17)
There are some very curious elements in the Christian faith, One of them is the
question: How is it possible for a divine being to go from the existence of a
supernatural being to the existence of an organic being? In other words: How is it
possible for someone to exist as a spirit being and a physical being simultaneously?
Well; I don't know the answers to those questions. But I do know that faith goes
beyond reason, i.e. faith accepts what's revealed rather than only what makes
sense.

(John 17) is the real 'Lords prayer'. It is our Lord praying to the Father.
In (John 17:5) Jesus asks the Father to once again let Him experience the glory of the Father that He had experienced before the world ever was.
The Son became a Man and laid aside that glory. (Philippians 2:7) He desires to know it again. Which He will, after the Cross.

That He becomes like God again. He became human.
Hebrews 2
But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels
To save us He became like us, so we can become like Him.
