John 17:21
John 17:21
That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us.
This verse expresses Jesus’ prayer for unity among believers, desiring that they may be one just as He is one with the Father. This profound unity is more than mere agreement; it’s a spiritual bond that mirrors the relationship within the Trinity. Jesus calls His followers to live in unity, united by their shared faith and love for God. When believers come together in this way, they reflect the unity of the Father and the Son, becoming a powerful witness to the world. This oneness draws others to Christ, as they see the love and harmony that mark God’s people. Unity in the church is a testimony to God’s love, as it reveals His desire for reconciliation and peace. In a fractured world, the church’s unity shines as a beacon of hope, inviting others to experience the love of God that binds His children together as one family.
