I believe Jesus was trying to make it clear to the disciples, that because of His advocacy, we now have access to God. Personal relationship, intimacy, "...because the the Father also loves us..." thru His Name and because of His work of Calvary. "Father, I come to you in Jesus Name......" My father taught his children and those he pastored this very thing.
