In John 17:21, Jesus said, "I pray that they will all be one, just as you and I are one—as you are in me, Father, and I am in you. And may they be in us so that the world will believe you sent me."

Before his crucifixion, this is what Jesus prayed for; this is what he deemed absolutely essential to the spread of the gospel, and what he asked for according to the will of the God the Father: unity within all believers.

Do you think that the body of Christ currently exudes such incredible oneness that there is no doubt the Almighty dwells among us? Friends, I think we have some work to do.

Jesus prayed the passage in John 17:20-23 out loud in front of a crowd. He was driving home a point. Unity among Christ Followers would demonstrate the reality of His presence in the world. Martha and I have made a marketplace observation, Christ Followers at work are unified in a common cause…

Priorities. Where we spend our time is the surest barometer of where our heart and priorities lie.Have you ever thought about if you’re REALLY living your priorities?

When the Body of Christ is outside the 4 walls church the body of Christ is unified in reaching the workplaces of this country. Stop thinking there is a little “c” church or parachurch, we are THE Church and it was Jesus’ idea.

It used to be funny when the people our culture complained about the most were the Christians; it’s just not funny anymore. Let’s find commonality with those who also claim to follow Jesus. Enough of the stupid. We all follow Jesus.
