Jesus' prayer for us - that we all may be one

Scripture: Acts 1:6-14  • Psalm 68:1-10, 32-35  • 1 Peter 4:12-14; 5:6-11  • John 17:1-11


This is the Sunday following Ascension Day. The gospel account is of Jesus praying with his disciples on the night before his crucifixion. This is known as Jesus' priestly prayer for us before he leaves us to go to the Father. Both of our authors give us perspective during this time of social distancing, loneliness, and issues of trust and hope. We need Jesus' prayer for us, especially now. Read The Rev. Anna Tew's " Split Screen," and Debie Thomas' "That they may be one."
