Our Lives Are To Be One With Him

 Those that are to become His children are to be equally one with Him. Just as He is one with the Father, we are to be one IN Christ. We are born of the Holy Spirit and made one with Him, we are a new creature in Christ. As the shadow of the Cross loomed closer, Jesus prayed that all those who were to one day become part of His Body would be one with Him and one with each other: "May they be completely one, just as we are one."
 Just as Christ's life witnessed of His oneness and unity with the Father, so His prayer for you and me is that our lives are to be one with Him and in unity with each other "so that the world may know that You sent Me and that You have loved them as you loved Me."
I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, unite Your children in the bond of love and fellowship with Yourself so that those that are Your children may abide in You and You in us. May we be true witnesses to the world of Your great salvation. In Jesus' name we pray, AMEN.
