Jesus Prays For Us - For Unity

"My prayer is not for them alone.  I pray also for those who will believe in Me through their message, that all of them may be one, just as You are in Me and I am in You... that they may brought into complete unity." (John 14:20-23) 

Thoughts from Max Lucado -- "Unity matters to God. Disunity disturbs Him. Earlier Jesus had said, 'All people will know that you are My followers if you love each other.' (John 13:35) 

Not if we always agree with each other. Not if we are unanimous on each vote. 

But if we love each other. 

Unity creates belief. Disunity creates disbelief.

'All people will know that you are My followers if you love each other.' 

Think about it. Could this mean unity is the key to reaching the world for Christ?"

All You Need Is Need!

All you need is need....

Philippians 4:19  --  "And my God will meet all your needs, according to the riches of His glory in Christ Jesus."

Hebrews 4:16 -- "Let us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace in our hour of need."  

So come, all of us, poor and needy.  Come to Jesus! 

All we need...yes, all we need...is need!

Do you qualify? I did...and I do!

An old pioneer gospel song -- some say one of Daniel Boone's favorites:

   "Come ye sinners, poor and needy.  Weak and wounded, sick and sore

   Jesus, ready, stands to save you. Full of pity, love and power.

   Come ye weary, heavy-laden, Lost and ruined by the fall.

   If you  tarry 'til you're ready, you will never come at all!

   I will arise and go to Jesus. He will embrace me in His arms

   In the arms of my dear Savior - O there are ten thousand charms!"

When God Said 'AMEN'!

Just something to think about with joyful thanksgiving and praise...

             The Resurrection was God's 'AMEN'

                      to Christ's 'It is Finished'!

Keep thinking about it all day...as we will forever!
