Summary ~
Jesus said, “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. Father, I desire that they also whom You gave
Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have
given Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world. O righteous
Father! The world has not known You, but I have known You; and these have known
that You sent Me. And I have declared to them Your name, and will declare it,
that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them” (John
17:20-26).
“A new
commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that
you also love one another. By this
all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another” (John
13:34-35).
