Christian Unity

In His intercessory prayer in John 17, Jesus prayed four times that His disciples would be one.

John 17:11, “...Holy Father, keep them in Thy name, the name which Thou hast given Me, that they may be one, even as We are."

John 17:20-21, “I do not ask in behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word; that [this is Christ's request] they may all be one; even as Thou, Father, art in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be in Us; that the world may believe that Thou didst send Me."

John 17:22, “And the glory which Thou hast given Me I have given to them; that they may be one, just as We are one."
