To Be One in Christ


Where do we find our unity and purpose?  We might look in many different places but the only true source of unity and purpose for the church is found in Jesus Christ.  In the 17th chapter of the Gospel of John Jesus prays for all believers throughout the ages.  He says this:  “May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.  Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.”

Jesus wants us to be one with him.  As we go through Ephesians 4:1-16 I invite you to ask this question, “How can I be more completely united with Christ?”
