Make us One Part 1
In His final moments before Calvary, Jesus prayed a profound prayer focusing on three key groups: Himself, His immediate disciples, and future believers. Throughout this prayer, He emphasized the critical importance of unity in fulfilling God's mission and bringing glory to His name. This unity among believers mirrors the perfect unity within the Godhead between Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Biblical unity transcends superficial similarities like preferences or appearances. Instead, it centers on being united around the gospel mission, working together to glorify God, and supporting one another in service. When believers are truly united, it demonstrates God's power to the world and enables effective mission work.
Maintaining this unity requires intentional effort through practicing humility, staying connected to the body of believers, resisting division, and using our spiritual gifts to serve others. By putting God's mission above personal preferences and pursuing reconciliation in relationships, believers can work together effectively to fulfill God's purposes and bring glory to His name.
