One (Unity) In Purpose pt. 2

Topic of discussion is continuation of "One in Purpose" John 17:21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

The word "One" as used here in the above scripture means in the Greek, union, concord; or agreement. Our unity with each other is dependent upon our Union with Christ and the Cross. The only way to have fellowship with God the Father is through Christ and the Only Way to Christ is through what His death accomplished at the Cross, and the Only Way to have access and the benefits of the Cross, is through a denial of self. Just as Christ set aside His own personal Will to pick up the will of another and lived according to the desires of the Father by way of the Holy Spirit, so we must live our Christian life, despite our circumstances, by simple trust in the will of God which is the Way of the Cross of Christ. 
Please feel free to tune in.
