The Gospel of John - Unity in Christ

Read John 17:15-24

[Jesus said] “ I pray that they will all be one, just as you and I are one—as you are in me, Father, and I am in you. And may they be in us so that the world will believe you sent me.” - John 17:21 (NLT)


On the evening of Jesus’ arrest, one of the things he made sure to do was to pray for his disciples, and he included all future disciples as well. And one of the things he prayed for was that the disciples would be unified, would be one in him just as he was one with the Father. The purpose of our unity is that it would broadcast the truth of God’s power, love, and forgiveness to all who see it. So want what Jesus wanted—let that prayer for unity be yours today also.
