Unity - That the world may believe
The portion ends with Jesus praying, asking the Father to keep His disciples and those who follow Him on this earth united. When we see the dynamics between God the Father and Jesus His Son, we see that they do everything from a united front. There is no disjointed speech, thought, or action. Since we are called His children, we need to be united in everything like our Father.
Most of the time unity suffers due to our insecurities, pride, ego, and other petty things (Matt 16:24). Following Jesus requires us to die to these things on a daily basis, and when we do that, we can experience true unity. When Jesus wanted to establish His church on earth, he desired for us to be united, following His purpose and plans so that we may bring Him glory, showing the world who He is and what He is like. May we in the church live in unity for His glory.
Prayer -
• Please help the church overcome the things that hold it back from unity
• Help me see the part I play in the bigger picture for the bigger cause
• May people know you through the love and unity of your people
Thanksgiving -
• Thank you for including us into the body of Christ, into relationship with you, God
• Thank you, Jesus, for obeying and submitting to the will of the Father so that we may have redemption and grace today
