It is Christ's prayer
for us that we would all be one in Him. Christ does not want His children
fighting amongst themselves. He does not want them to live in isolation from
one another and competing for the lost. Christ does not want any of His
children lording it over others. He does not want any of them to become proud
of their position in life or to think that they are better than others because
of what they may or may not understand about the Scriptures. Christ does not
want any of His children to be judgmental or jealous of others in the family.
Jesus prayed for us
so that we would all be one in spirit. He wants us to get along and to support
and encourage one another as we serve Him. He wants us to rally together in
Him. It does not mean that we can't have our disagreements, but we can learn to
agree to disagree agreeably so that we can work together in the harvest field
for His honor and glory.
The household of
faith is easily divided. We must strive to fight the temptation to let our
differences keep us from fellowship and fruitful service together. Jesus is
praying for us. Will we let Him have His way with us?
What do you need to
do differently in order to be a part of the solution instead of the problem?
How might you be a part of the answer to Jesus' prayer?
