We Are . . . "Unified As One In Christ!"
 

May we do what Jesus did, as He prayed for UNITY among His followers: “Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one” (John 17:11). 

​

Jesus asked “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 . . . 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” (John 17:21–23).

​

Christian unity is important to our Lord.  Jesus not only prayed for unity, but He gave the reasons that Christian unity is important.  He asked that all believers may be in the Father and the Son, “so that the world may believe that you have sent me” (John 17:21). And then Jesus prayed for “complete unity” so that “the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me” (verse 23). When Christians are united in Christ, the world sees two things clearly: 1) Jesus was sent by the Father, and 2) Jesus loves His church!

​

As we march into 2025 . . . may we experience such perfect "Unity" that the world will know that we have been sent by Jesus and that He loves them as much as He loves us!

LET'S BE ​UNIFIED IN CHRIST!
