🕊️ Jesus is Praying that We Become One John 17:20–26 | The High Priestly Prayer 📅 Sunday Service — Trinity Lutheran Church, Sheboygan
In this powerful Gospel reading from John 17, we hear Jesus' prayer for unity—true unity—the kind that reflects His own oneness with the Father. And yet, the Church today can often feel fractured, broken, and divided. So how do we make sense of the contrast between Christ’s prayer and the disunity we witness?
This Sunday—nestled between Ascension and Pentecost—reminds us of the ongoing, active work of God in His Church. Christ is not absent. He is ascended, praying for us, and sending His Spirit through His Word. This is not our church built on human effort. It is God’s Church, built by His Word, united in the forgiveness of sins.
🔑 Key Takeaways
Jesus’ prayer is for our unity in Him
The Church exists because of God’s work, not ours
Unity comes through His Word, not compromise
Between Ascension and Pentecost, we are reminded of His ongoing mission
