Jesus Prayed For Our Unity

https://www.unitedbyprayer.com/.../jesus-prayed-for-our...

Every phrase and every word in this beautiful High prayer of the Lord Jesus as He faces the shadow of Calvary's Cross, are thoughts upon which we should take time to reflect. From beginning to end, this is a prayer that should cause us to rejoice with great joy and praise God with deep reverence. We see Christ interceding on our account at the throne of grace. We discover, in this intimate exchange with His heavenly Father, an exquisite prayer; so profoundly beautiful and intimate and yet so far-reaching that you and I are included in its universal scope. Generations of yet unborn men and women who would trust in Christ for the redemption of their sins, are those for whom the Lord Jesus prayed. Jesus Prayed For Our Unity in the Spirit. Christ desired that the Church, which is His Body, is unified in spirit and truth, "that they may be one, even as We are One." Sadly, this verse has been assimilated into the perverted doctrine of the 'New Age' philosophy and the interfaith movement, where all gods are the same, as well as the ecumenical lobbyists who are prepared to adopt a watered-down, compromised 'gospel' message for the sake of political correctness. As Christians, we are God's ambassadors on earth who we have the privilege and responsibility to be His hands and His feet, His eyes and His ears, His heart and His voice, as we share His gospel of hope to those that are lost in trespasses and dead in their sins. In His grace, Christ prayed that we would be united in spirit, in truth, with the same unselfish, godly compassion and concern for others that He has for us.

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.

Our United Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for this amazing peep into the heart of Christ as He offers up this earnest High Priestly prayer about unity in the Body of Christ. We pray that our lives would be, in a small part, an answer to that prayer so that others may see our lives and glorify our Father in heaven. We pray that through our witnessing, many may be drawn into an even closer relationship with Christ, our God and our Redeemer, in Whose name We Pray, AMEN.
