John 17:23
I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.


It is very easy to complicate simple things.

It is understandable because the simple things of faith are unseen therefore in our striving to see them and understand them through our flesh we complicate it.

Jesus here reveals to us his will for us.

I in them and you in me...

Jesus in us and the Father in Jesus...

Speaks of ultimate relationship, connection, love, family, belonging, oneness.

When we have relationship with Jesus we have relationship with the Father.

This is the solution to all our aching and broken hearts, to be accepted, to be valued, to be loved by the one who created us.

We were designed for community.

Let the cross of Jesus Christ be our common unity for it is the only thing that can abolish the dividing wall of flesh & hostility between each other and God.

I in them and you in me. Complete unity. Jesus be glorified.
