A Prayer for Unity

John 17:21-"That they all be one, as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be in us; That the world may believe that thou hast sent me:

Here we have Jesus revealed as the great intercessor. Here he is praying that we all be united. The standard of this unity is the oneness,the same oneness as between Jesus and the Father.We as believers must come together as one.This is an absolute for the spreading of the Gospel,there is a world that has not been reached; millions are walking in darkness, because we believers have not unified enough to penatrate the world with the truth of the Gospel.The problem is not God,He is the same esterday,today, and forever,it is his will that none should parish,but we the believers stand divided.

See there are three essentials for men to become believers; First there is the messenger, the person who proclaims the word so that man can believe.Then there must be a message which to proclaim,and since we are Gods messengers,the message we take into the world must be the testimony of God's revelation  to mankind.And finally, there has to be belief, one messenger, proclaiming one message,which will bring about  one belief,that Jesus Christ is Lord.A unified body with a unified message, to bring about one belief,to believe on th eonly begotten Son of God.We who confess Jesus Christ as Lord must lay aside our petty difference,and lift up the one thing that we all have in common,to lift up the one thing that matters.Let us put aside our personal agenda's,dividing denominations, religious differences and proclaim Christ and Him crucified.We the many members of this one glorious body comming together proclaim a single message. Come together as one as Christ and the Father are one, one mind ,one heart, one purpose, of one characters and of one love.One body proclaiming Gods only message to a dying world, Christ and him crucified.A body of one,unified that world may know that God sent Jesus into the world, and that through him the world might be saved.

The world  needs a unified love more than anything else,it needs to see a great demonstration of love from a massive multitude of people.Think of the power if all believers came together in a united love sharing the good news of the gospel.The world needs the  unified love of God, a love that is patient, that is kind, that bears all things,endures all things,and that believes all things.So let us who confess the name of Jesus become one with Jesus one with his Love and message,and walk worthy of the name by which we are called, that all in darkness might come into his marvelous light.
