Grace Made Visible in The Church

Jesus Prayed for it.

John 17:20-24

 

 1.  One of Jesus’ greatest desires is for Christians to be unified. (John 17:20-21)

     a. How can all believers be unified?

In the essentials, Unity.

In the non-essentials, liberty.

In all things, love.

 2.  Jesus wants the world to see God’s grace in you. (John 17:22-23)

What is God’s best plan?

Do you want God’s best plan for others?

3. Jesus longs for all of us to be with(John 17:24)

How can I be accepting of others without slipping into tolerance or rejection?

Know what you believe about yourself:

Created in the image of God.

Called into relationship with Him.

Indwelt by the Holy Spirit.

Empowered to be an ambassador for Christ in bringing healing to a broken world.

Do you want that for others? Then extend that same belief to them.

Final Thought: “Therefore, accept each other just as Christ has accepted you so that God will be given glory.” (Romans 15:7)
