I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. John 17:22?-?23 NIV This is part of Jesus prayer As, in confirming His hour was at hand. His sacrifice appointed by God That we might return to God. No longer scattered across the lands Trying to build a temple to reach heaven. But that He might dwell within one, To be the temple created without hands. In these days of remembrance The love felt through His word Giving up His life That we might receive life Through the Holy Spirit crucifying old self And resurrecting a new transformation within. Removing the stone blocking the heart. Which kept one in darkness. Not allowing the light to enter. For we are in the tomb in death. Until Christ breaks the bondage. Filling with the living water. The beauty of Christ seeking complete unity. That we might receive joy, peace , rest And love for all as did He. To bring glory to Jesus We need to understand that We are all created by God . And through the spirit brings unity. United in One God, One flock , One Shepherd

"crucifying old self And resurrecting a new transformation within. Removing the stone blocking the heart. Which kept one in darkness." The message of Easter is so beautifully summed up here. Have a Happy Easter. May the resurrected Lord Bless you and your family.... dear Stephen.

All glory to God, my dear friend, Jesus prayer for unity stands out so much before His death, only through His spirit sent dwelling within one , could we ever have complete unity, : ). May you have a wonderful Easter , May God bless, comfort, guide and fill you with His peace, love, spirit and joy in abundance, May that spirit which raised Christ always surround and protect you : ).
