The Communal Nature ofGod’s Mission
My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their
message, 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. I have given them the glory
that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one: I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world
know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. (John 17:20-23)
Practical Insights for Unity
Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion,
kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever
grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all
these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. (Colossians 3:12-14)
The Court of Reputationfor God’s Mission
I have come in my Father's name, and you do not accept me;
but if someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him.
How can you believe if you accept praise from one another, yet make no effort
to obtain the praise that comes from the only God?
(John 5:43-44)
The Invitation of Kinship in God’s Mission
You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.
There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all
one in Christ Jesus. (Galatians 3:26-28)
