Today’s Word from God’s Word-One

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Word from God’s Word is One.

One definition of One is “Being in agreement or union.”

Just before going to the cross, Jesus had a conversation with His Heavenly Father. He was praying for His followers in this way in John 17:21.

“That all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me, and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.”

Genuine believers may have different opinions on different topics, but we have in common our faith in Jesus Christ. He is our Lord and Savior. He is our Faithful Friend who gave His life for us. We share a common love together, inspired by His grace to express God’s love as a shining light. The prayer of Jesus reflects God’s will for the church to be unified under His leadership.
