In Jesus’ final prayer before His arrest, He intercedes on the behalf of His followers — that’s us! — praying that we would be one just as He is one with the Father.

In some of Jesus’ final words to His disciples in the book of John, He tells them to love each other. It feels like such a simple command, but it’s actually one of the hallmarks of a relationship with Jesus. Jesus’ love is sacrificial. It’s friendship, and it’s mission.
