Jesus’ final words to his disciples in John 16 speak about unity in the Christian church. Jesus only has hours left on earth, and he uses that time to pray that the twelve disciples, and the future Church, have complete unity. We all have issues, and unity and community can be hard to achieve. But we must fight to be one – one Church unified under Christ as Savior, Lord, and King, one with each other, one with God, and one with the mission.
