Be one as They are One

Yahusha Messiah was praying to Father and this is what He asked Him: Set-apart Father, guard them in Your Name which You have given Me, so that they might be one, as We are – John 17:11.

Messiah is asking that those who follow Him truly and are called out, be one as they (Father and Son) are One.

Yahusha (Jesus) is pleading for unity among His taught ones, His flock, to be united (echad). Messiah also says “guard them in Your Name.” What Name was Yahusha referring too?

Messiah is confirming in this verse (and many other verses in John chapter 17) that Father, which many Christians call God, has a Name and Messiah was telling the people that were with Him the Father’s Name.

1 Chronicles 28:8 “And now, before the eyes of all Israel, the assembly of Yahuah, and in the hearing of our Elohim, guard and seek all the commands of Yahuah your Elohim, so that you possess this good land, and leave it as an inheritance for your children after you forever.

Very important to note in this verse: “the assembly of Yahuah” of Israel (you and me) who are keeping and seeking His commands. This is what we actually should be known as “Congregation of Yahuah.” Named after the Father!

 

2 Chronicles 6:33 then hear from the heavens Your dwelling place, and do according to all which the foreigner calls to You for, so that all the people of the earth know Your Name and fear You, as do Your people Israel, and to know that this House which I have built is called by Your Name.

Again, all will know His Name and will be one with Him.

Ephesians 3:14-16 For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Master Yahusha Messiah, of whom every family in Heaven and on earth is named, that He may give you, according to the riches of His glory, by His power to become mighty in the inward man through His Spirit…

Would we not then expect to see the Father’s Name in His Son’s Name, and also in the name of His chosen ones, His covenant people?

Read 2 Chronicles 6:33 and Ephesians 3:15 together and notice the same message: All will know His Name and will be one in Him.

 

2 Chronicles 7:14 and My people upon whom My Name is called, shall humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their evil ways, then I shall hear from the heavens, and forgive their sin and heal their land.

Deuteronomy 6:4 “Hear, O Israel: Yahuah our Elohim, Yahuah is one! “And you shall love Yahuah your Elohim with all your heart, and with all your being, and with all your might.

Israel (you and me), Father Yahuah and Messiah Yahusha are One.

 

John 17:21-23 so that they (Israel- you and me) all might be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You, so that they (Israel – you and me) too might be one in Us, so that the world might believe that You have sent Me. “And the esteem which You gave Me I have given them, so that they might be one as We are one, “I in them, and You in Me, so that they might be perfected into one, so that the world knows that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.

Messiah is saying “might be one” this is because nobody is forced to follow Yahusha, it is all free will to be one with Them.

John 17: 26“And I (Messiah) have made Your Name known to them (you and me), and shall make it known, so that the love with which You loved Me might be in them, and I in them.”

Has Yahusha made Father’s Name known to you?

Are you one in Him?

Do you really believe!
