The Prayer of Christ for Unity

In John 17:2, Christ clearly defined His mission. He was sent to the world to give eternal life to all who would believe. Reaching the lost is what it's all about; it remains today the passion of His heart.

So after first interceding for the apostles (vss. 6-19), He prayed for you and me. Specifically - three times in four verses (20-23) - He prayed that we would be one, or "perfected in unity." Our unity, He declared, will be a visible witness to the world of God's love for all people. Our oneness will demonstrate that He is Messiah, who alone can bring peace to men.

In John 17, then, Christ not only defined His mission, but delivered to us the most effective means for reaching the world with the Gospel. He did not tell us to write a book, publish a tract or develop a program; He called us to be one - on earth as it is in heaven - so that the world would know God's love and believe.
