Healing Our Brokenness

This week we will consider one of the final prayers recorded in the Gospel of John (See below). I believe it is no overstatement to say that Jesus’ prayer is our mission. Desmond Tutu says it this way, “The God who existed before any religion counts on you to make the oneness of the human family known and celebrated.”

Tomorrow, we will discuss Jesus’ prayer, what it means for the world today, and what we can do to “make the oneness of the human family known and celebrated.”

Scripture reading:

John 17:20-26

20 ‘I ask not only on behalf of these, but also on behalf of those who will believe in me through their word, 21that they may all be one. As you, Father, are in me and I am in you, may they also be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 

22The glory that you have given me I have given them, so that they may be one, as we are one, 23I in them and you in me, that they may become completely one, so that the world may know that you have sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. 

24Father, I desire that those also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory, which you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world. 

25‘Righteous Father, the world does not know you, but I know you; and these know that you have sent me. 26I made your name known to them, and I will make it known, so that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.’
