“I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me.”

– John 17:20–21

Every four years it seems like the world forgets its troubles and divisions. Why? I don’t think it is because of the Olympics, and I certainly don’t think it has anything to do with the Presidential election. If there is a one reason we can point to I believe it be a characteristic that is found deep within ourselves, something that was created in us. It is a desire for unity. Yes, we get distracted from it often with the troubles of life, but it is still there. Jesus knew this and he prayed not only for himself and those whom he loved but also for all who would listen to the Gospel. Jesus wanted us to be unified with Him in spirit and in truth. Eventually the Olympics and Presidential elections will be over, what then will bring us together again? I know of only one thing that can perfectly unite souls in complete harmony, the Good News of Jesus Christ.

Let your light shine!
