Just before he died on the cross, Jesus prayed for his followers to be brought to complete unity so that the world would know that God the Father sent him and that the Father loves the world even as he loved Jesus. As we commune at the Lord’s Table we celebrate Jesus’ sacrificial love for us and our oneness in Him. We grasp again how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ and we share that love with one another. Through our unity, our worship and our witness we proclaim to the world that God is able to break down the racial and political divides that have separated us. We present to the world the hope we have in Christ who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine. We invite the world to come to Christ who is able to bring unity and peace to our world.
