The text today tells us about Christ’s prayer for the Church: That all believers should become one, even as they live in this world. Jesus demanded that the church will be one in all things, just as the cord of oneness between the Father and the Son (John 10:38). He also requested that being one, the church will be made perfect in all things so that the world may see the salvation through Jesus Christ. In addition, Jesus desired that believers will have eternal place with Him in heaven where they would behold His glory as God (John 14:3).

As Christians, having given our lives and totality to Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, these prayers should be our comfort and target, no matter what comes as challenge(s) to our Christian race. The unity of the Church is important, especially at this time of serious persecution. What is expected from the Church is to live in line with Christ’s prayers till the end. There in heaven, we will all behold His glory, honour, power and majesty.

PRAYER: Father, we beseech You to give grace of unity to Your Church that we may remain forever in You till the end of age. Amen
