If you were getting together with the people you loved, and you knew that it would be the last time you saw them, what you said and did would be well thought out and significant.
Jesus, during his last night on earth, had a lot to say to his disciples. But he also prayed for you and I.
"My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me." John 17:20-23
It is possible the Lord looked toward the times we have today and saw how much division there is in the body of Christ.
Do our actions and attitudes work with or against this prayer? Are we one as he and our Father were one?
