John 17:20-21 My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 

Reflection 

Jesus prays that His followers would be one—not by uniformity, but by love. Our unity is meant to reflect the very heart of God and to serve as a living witness to the world. When the church lives in gospel-shaped love across differences, people see Christ more clearly. 

Application 

Today, ask God to grow a deeper love in you for those who are different from you. Pray for unity in diversity within The District Church, rooted in compassion and humility. Ask God to continue shaping us into a multiethnic community—especially among our Hispanic neighbors in Delano—so that our life together points unmistakably to Jesus.
