No one else can pray like that

On the night before He was crucified, Jesus prayed to His Father in the presence of His disciples, saying:

And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed. (John 17:5)
No one else can pray like that. For me to utter those words would be as preposterous as it would be blasphemous. Jesus existed with the Father, in glory, before the world existed. That is why He can lay His life down and take it back up again.
