“My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in Me through their message, 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. 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. 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. (John 17:20-23)

The thing that pressed on the mind of Christ just hours before He complete His personal earthy ministry, was the unity of those who would continue in His ministry. The success of His life ministry was Oneness with the Father. He spoke what He heard from the Father. He joined the Father in the activities the Father was doing. He obeyed the Father with His life. The Church is many members who function in “complete unity to let the world know that You (God the Father) sent Me (Jesus the Son) and have loved them.” The Church does not function and do the Fathers will in part. It requires the whole body of believers working in concert to fulfill the design of God and desire of Jesus. Every child of God is to be connected with the Godhead and the body of Christ. Do not be deceived by the thought that you can connect with God alone and have no need for others. My friend, seek out with whom God is connecting you and join together with those believers to make your calling complete. You will know and experience the “glory” of Jesus Christ, the eternal love of the Father and the joy of Christian living by faith in Jesus Christ.. Father, thank You for Your love and the body of Jesus Christ to share and know Your love, joy, peace and rest. I delight in You today and to serve You through the body of Christ. In the blessed Name of Jesus. Amen.
