Today’s Scripture: John 17:23, NLT- “Iam in them and you are in me. May they experience such perfect unity that the world will know that you sent me and that you love them as much as you love me.”
Jesus came so we would know perfect unity with God. Just before being betrayed in the garden Jesus was pouring out His love and His promises to His disciples and to us.
The disciple’s hearts were so filled with sorrow they didn’t even ask Jesus where He was going. Too self consumed were the disciples to be able to focus on Jesus. That sounds familiar to us, doesn’t it?
Jesus knew us and knew we needed the Helper to come. The Spirit of truth convicts us and guides us out of our sorrow filled hearts into God’s heart. When we look to God through the eyes of God we come to know His love.
The same love and as much love as God loves Jesus. What a wonderful truth and what wonderful joy to know we are one with the Father just as Jesus told us.
Do you believe God loves you as much as He loves Jesus?
Today’s Prayer: Father in Heaven, thank You for Jesus. Thank You for Your Word that I am one with You. The love You have for Jesus is the same You have for me. Please fill my heart with the oneness Jesus knew and taught us. You are the only perfect One and I am thankful You bring me into unity with Yourself and love me as much as You love Jesus. Amen
