11/27/2025 – “Thank you Lord for your love that is greater than anything that we could understand. Amen.” / “Jesus Prays for All Believers” (John 17: 20 – 26)
“I pray not only for these, but also for those who believe in Me through their message. May they all be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I am in you. May they also be one in Us, so the world may believe You sent Me. I have given them the glory You have given Me. May they be one as We are one. I am in them and You are in Me. May they be made completely one, so the the world may know You have sent Me and have loved them as You have loved Me.
Father, I desire those You have given Me to be with Me where I am. Then they will see My glory, which You have given Me because You loved Me before the world’s foundation. Righteous Father! The world has not known You. However, I have known You, and these have known that You sent Me.
I made Your name known to them and will make it known, so the love You have loved Me with may be in them and I may be in them.” (John 17: 20 – 26)

Commentary – Apologetics Study Bible – John 17: 21 – 23:
“Obviously, believers cannot be one with either the Father or the Son in every way the persons of the Godhead are one with each other, for we are not God. On the other hand, the unity among Christians is more than the invisible oneness of all believers; it is something that demonstrates itself in outward, tangible, loving cooperation for powerful evangelistic purposes and results.”
