John 17
verse 10: One of the best ways for people to know Gods character is through the character of His children. God's glory is when we reveal His character in all aspects of our life, even if we don't do it perfectly. We are saved by grace so we strive in the practice forgiveness and reconciliation with God and others.
verse 20-23: Jesus prays that not just imitate the way God made us before the fall but to live it out, unfortunately there are exceptions. God wants His children to be unified under His son, but I can find often that sometimes we meddle with non-essential theological differences. However in the case of the Uniting Church of Australia, I believe division is necessary. My hope and prayer is that despite the relationships between other Christians whether legitimate or pagan, we can express God's love and character in the way God has defined in scripture
