Jesus' Prayer for Our Purpose

John 17:20-21   


My prayer is not for them alone.
Not only for His disciples and followers at that time.

I pray also for those who will believe in Me through their message,  
Jesus looked down that hallway of Time and saw the rest of us; all the way to me! Jesus prayed for me!

That all of them may be one, Father, just as You are in Me and I am in You.  
Jesus and God the Father are unified in thought and purpose, one God.

May they also be in us  
We as His church need to be one in thought and purpose, God's thoughts and purposes.

So that the world may believe that You have sent Me.  
This is our primary purpose in our unity, that the world will see the Truth of His message. Whether they choose to trust in Christ for salvation, or refuse to, they will have no excuse. But the onus is on us. We need to stop quarreling among ourselves and focus on the basics.
