In this sermon we continue our study in the Gospel of John and consider the importance of Christ’s unity with the Father. We learned that Christ’s unity with the Father assures us that His words are true and will come to pass, giving us a certain hope. It also calls us to consistent lives, as the Church now represents Christ’s authority and power on earth. Finally, it means our prayers are considered, for when we pray in Christ’s name, we speak with His divine authority before the Father.
