Just hours before Jesus Christ laid down His life for us, He prayed for unity among His followers. His prayer emphasized His desire for those loved Him to be “one.” The desire He expressed wasn’t just a meme or a slogan for “Unity Month” or “Cross-Cultural Sunday.” It was meant to be a way of life and a sign of what His Spirit was doing within His church. It was a mandate from our Commander in Chief that we be one with Him (vertically) and, as a result, one with each other (horizontally).
When kingdom men live a life of unity, we are a witness to the world of the King under whom we serve. Getting along in authentic unity is a sign that glorifies God. By it we manifest His glory in history. All our praying, preaching, worship and Bible studies can never bring about the fullest possible manifestation of God’s presence like the way we function in a spirit of unity can.
That’s why the subject of our unity was at the core of Jesus’ high priestly prayer in John 17. Nothing reveals God’s glory like His people working together in unity. It is a signal to the watching world that something has happened in human hearts when they see them working together in love. Our authentic connection to one another in the body of Christ serves as a testimony to our connection with Christ.

About this Plan
Unity is a popular topic these days, but many who call for unity are not asking the important question: what is unity for? Why does God want His people to experience unity, and what is that unity based upon? In these devotions by best-selling author Tony Evans, he explores why unity is so important for those who want to dedicate themselves to God’s kingdom and rise up as kingdom men!
