PrayerLife - September 3 2016 - Praying For Church Unity

Published: Sept. 3, 2016, 3:17 p.m.

One of Jesus' most powerful prayers is for the unity of His followers - the body of Christ. He prayed "that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, 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" (John 17:21-23). May Jesus' prayer for the unity of the Body be our prayer today.
