Scripture: John 17:20-24
20 “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21 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. 22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they ma y be one as we are one: 23 I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. 24 Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.”
Observation:
Jesus pours out his heart to God in this prayer and he explains that his desire is that we would have the same relationship with his Father that he did.
The number ‘1’ cannot be divided. It is the way God speaks of a marriage, “the two shall become one.” When two people become one it is the ultimate sign of intimacy and friendship.
It is Jesus’ desire that we would live a life that is in “complete unity” with God plan.
Application:
Where do you struggle to be like God? (Relationships, Movies, Music…)
What area of your life do you feel is in harmony, connection, and unity with God? What feelings does that generate inside you?
Prayer:Say a bold prayer that asks for God to reveal new areas of your life that need to be in sync with God.
