“A Prayer of
Unity”
“I
pray for these men. But I am also praying for all people that will believe in
me because of the teaching of these men. Father, I pray that all people that
believe in me can be one.” (v.20-21)
Here
Jesus is not only praying for His disciples but, also for all those who would
come to believe in Him through them. That includes you and me. He looked beyond
this first generation of believers and saw those whom the gospel would reach
around the world.
His
prayer for them and for us is that we would be unified as one. That we would
believe God sent Jesus to be the Savior of mankind. Not just the Jews but the
gentiles as well. That He fulfilled all that God had for Him to accomplish in
His life, His death, His burial, and resurrection.
Therefore
brothers and sisters we are one in Jesus and should be united together in our
service to Him in whatever He has called us to do.
The
Truth
“Behold,
how good and how pleasant it is
for brethren to dwell together in unity!” (Psalm 133:1)
