For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. 2 Corinthians 5:21 KJV
John 17: 20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.
25 O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.
26 And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
Oh that you might grasp the significance of this the prayer of Christ as He headed for the Garden of Gethsemane heralding His approach to the cross. His prayer was that the power of the Father might so penetrate our hearts and minds that we might become one with the Father and Son and by thus doing we might grow in our sanctification, becoming perfected so that our lives would shine forth as a testimony of the perfect love that the Father had for the Son and overflowing to fill each heart of those who would believe. Let our love overflow in like manner to a world in need of a Savior. Let our love overflow to a brokenhearted, sorrow filled world. He has not only shared His love and His Joy; but desires to share His Glory. Let us Christian world become united in this one passion to display the Love and Glory of Christ. Lay aside your selfish, covetous, fleshy desires that you may be one with the Father and Son. Let us declare His Splendor, His Glory and His Joy. Though it may be a cross we must bear to show His Glory more, let us carry that cross with the joy that we find in a relationship united with God. Not laden down or downcast; but, through keeping our eyes focused on Jesus we know that whatever cross we are carrying, He is there with us and never forget that all things work together for good to those who love God. The chance we have to communion with Him, to walk with Him, to talk with Him and to study the truth He has provided in His word for us is Joy Abounding. Circumstances come and Go, but He never leaves us.
