Morning by Morning, April 28, 2025 - “That They Also May Be One in Us”
Good morning, Lord Jesus. Align my heart with Your heart, my mind with Your mind, my words with Your words, my actions with Your actions, as You make me more like You today (Romans 8:28). ...
“I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me.
“And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me” (John 17:20-23).
In the depth of Your prayer before You were betrayed and arrested, we were on Your mind. You prayed with passion that we would be one with You and one with one another. You prayed for a depth of unity, for a communion of spirit, for an alignment of purpose and personhood, that can only be accomplished by Your Spirit abiding in our spirits and Your purposes fulfilled through our lives.
You’re one with the Father, one with the Holy Spirit, and by the mystery of faith and mercy of God, You also desire to be one with every one of Your disciples of Christ and children of God. “That (we) also may be one in (You)”—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit of God.
We’ve not experienced that yet. At least not here in this earthly realm, where our journey of faith in You is a daily walk with all its daily challenges and persistent opposition. This is one of Your prayers yet to be answered. But we know every word of God is true and all will be fulfilled (Isaiah 55:11; Matthew 24:35). Including every prayer You prayed on this earth in the days of Your flesh. Including this one—this high and holy prayer that we would be “one.”
Reveal and remove every barrier and blockage. Replace every hindrance to our wholeness with a oneness in You that only You can do. “With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible (Mark 10:27). “If (we) can believe, all things are possible to him who believes” (Mark 9:23). Even this.
By the power of Your grace working in us, by the power of Your Spirit moving through us, Lord make it so. Lord, make us one—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit of God.
“There is one body and one Spirit, just as (we) were called in one hope of (our) calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in (us) all” (Ephesians 4:4-6).
So now, with this hope in our hearts, in ongoing, continuing fulfillment of Your prayer from Your heart, “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with (us) all” (2 Corinthians 13:14). In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
