Read John 17:20-25
SOAP John 17:20-21, 23
When you read these verses closely, it is clear that unity in the body causes the world to believe the truth. When we come together, walking in the light of Christ and His truth, people will see the gospel clearly. Sometimes I am guilty of behaving just like unsaved people, not differing in my desires or emotions. But purposeful life in Christ should be distinct.
Father, please permeate my life until your light and love shine through.
Jesus prayed for all who would hear the Word and receive it. He desired that we would be perfected in unity. The bible said, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son” and in our soap today Jesus stated that God loved us as much as He loved Him that means you and I are very special. People are searching all different avenues for love and its right there in front of them and yet without someone helping them they will cling to a false ideal. I pray that I could be that person who will point them in the direction of the Lord, and be that person that helps bring unity to His body.
