John 17:21-24 (KJV)  That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. 22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: 23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. 24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.

The Lord Jesus is one with the Father. And this oneness is extended to all who come to Him. Jesus said of the Father with Him, the Son of God and He with His church, “I in them and Thou in Me.”

It is an assurance that would jolt the world to see the church that is set apart by Christ to be one with Him. There is a completeness in the lives of God’s people with the Lord Himself leading them.

The Son in His glory so the church will behold the glory of Christ and experience His glory in their midst. This is the church’s witness to the world. Amen.
