John 17:21

"[May they] all be ONE, just as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You have sent Me."~Jesus
(John 17:21)

"We can ask no stronger proof of the value of unity among Christians, and the sinfulness of division, than the great prominence which our Master assigns to the subject in this passage. How painfully true it is that in every age divisions have been the scandal of religion, and the weakness of the Church of Christ! How often Christians have wasted their strength in contending against their brethren, instead of contending against sin and the devil!
So long as we have Christ and a good conscience, let us patiently hold on our way, follow the things that make for peace, and strive to promote unity. It was not for nothing that our Lord prayed so fervently that His people might be "one."
(J.C. Ryle)
