that they may 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.
.What would unity in the Body be like, LORD? How would it be evident? What would be the fruit? “So the world would believe that You sent Me”? I've never experienced it; it is closer to say that my predominant experience in the Church has be marked by disunity, sectarian strife, inter and intra denominational battles over minor doctrinal issues. Why has this prayer, a chief component of Your prayer for Your disciples, never been answered? Am I to be still waiting upon Your time?
