Believers are called and empowered to live a life of shared community and oneness. If you believe Jesus always received what He prayed for, then this message holds great significance for you. Hours before His betrayal and crucifixion, Jesus offered up what is often called “His High Priestly Prayer”, where He prayed for His disciples…and also for you. What did He desire from the Father? That all who follow Him would be one with each other. God does not save us to be lone rangers, mavericks, spiritual slalom skiers. He saves us from our sin, from our doom, to Himself…and unto one another. Jesus put it near the top of His prayer list while on earth and we get to learn how close to the top of our own it rests.
