Description: Jesus prayed that His followers would be one-not just in spirit, but in visible, tangible unity. And yet, in every generation of the Church, that unity has been tested by disagreement, division, and differing perspectives. From the earliest house churches to our present-day congregations, followers of Jesus have found themselves struggling to love one another-not because they don't believe in love, but because love in practice is harder than love in theory.
This devotional is for anyone who has felt that struggle. It is for the Christian who desires unity but is burdened by the reality of difference. It is for the one whose heart aches when fellow believers speak or act in ways that seem contrary to Jesus' compassion. It is for the disciple who wants to walk humbly, act justly, and love others-not only those who are easy to love, but especially those who are not. Let us walk together-day by day, verse by verse-into the unity Jesus prayed for and the love He commands.
