John 17:23

“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.”
John 17:23

Everywhere you turn people are looking for love, yet who else can love us the way God loves us. Many times we are too busy and too distracted to remember that the most important thing of all is love and how we express that love to others.

How does this happen in the church? We need to see one another as God does, glorified in Christ, instead of focusing on the faults and shortcomings of others. We need to focus on who they are in Jesus. That’s what God did for us, God expressed His perfect love to us through Jesus’ death on the cross, that by the power of the Holy Spirit, we may express that same love to others.

Jesus prayed to the Father, “I in them, You in ME, that they may be made perfect in one…” all so that the love of God might be seen by all.
