The other day I happened
across a series of comments responding to a post that referenced in passing the
words of the Lord in John 17. You remember: the part where Jesus prays, “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”.
What did the Lord mean? I have rarely
encountered greater diversity of opinion about just a few words. One person even not-so-tentatively floated the proposition that the Father has answered his Son’s prayer in the
negative.
I’m thinking Eh, not so much.
