Preface

Preface I pray not only for these, but also for those who believe in me through their word. May they all be one, as you, Father, are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us, so that the world may believe you sent me. I have given them the glory you have given me, so that they may be one as we are one. I am in them and you are in me, so that they may be made completely one, that the world may know you have sent me and have loved them as you have loved me. - John 17:20-23, CSBJ esus prayed that His Church would be united. If you ve ever experienced division within a church, you probably either chuckled or sighed when you read that. Between denomination splits, church in-fighting, and Christian cancel culture, sometimes the Church can feel just as divided as the political world. This isn t how it s supposed to be! Shouldn t we be bonded together, united, perhaps even family? But families aren t uniform. Jesus isn t the same as the Father, and yet They are one.

Paul found encouragement in God’s word. When faced with temptation, remember how Jesus said, “Not My will but Yours.” Give all your heart, all your mind, and all your strength to God, and love your neighbor as yourself. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
