THE 22nd OF JUNE
JESUS PRAYS FOR THE UNITY BETWEEN CHRISTIANS OF ALL AGES
“I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me.” – John 17:20-21
Jesus concludes the list of His requests to His Father, with a great statement in our favor. He also prayed, for the generations of believers that were to come, to know Him after hearing the Gospel. All generations after the apostles, including us and the future ones, are part of them and all that Jesus prayed to the Father, is for us too. What a blessing and a privilege to have the Son of God praying for us, before we were even born.
Since Jesus rose from the dead and went back to heaven, He is sitting at the Father’s right hand, and making intercession for us (Romans 8:34). God’s will for us is to make it to heaven. The Lord wants us to have success and live blessed lives in obedience to Him, until the end. He wants us, as His church, to love each other and be in unity with one another and with Him, so that those around us can see Jesus in us and believe that He is the Son of God.
SUGGESTED PRAYER
Thank You Lord for all You did for me. I am so blessed to know that Your will for me is to make it, to remain true to You and live for Your glory. Please help me to always shine for You and for people to see You in me. Please fill me with Your love so that I may love others too. Please help me be in unity with Your other children and together to work for the growth of Your Kingdom. In the Name of Jesus I pray. Amen.
