None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that scripture would be fulfilled. Now, disciple-making. We talked last week about how Jesus has given us the people. He has invested people into our lives. We are surrounded by people in our spheres of influence who we have the opportunity to impact for the glory of Christ. He's given us the words. He's given us the authority to share the word with them. Now I want you to see how part of sharing the word with them involves showing the word to them. And I want us to think about people that God has entrusted in our lives to show the word to. And what that means, first of all, I think it means that we display his character to them.

… And... keep them in your name which you have given me that they may be one even as we are one. Jesus prays and he says, God, I want them to be one just as you and I are one. the glory that you've given me, I've given to them that they may be one even as we are one. I in them, you in me, that they may become perfectly one so that the world may know that you sent me and love them even as you loved me. See, this was Jesus' prayer. He goes, God, I want them to be perfectly one, just like you and I are one. The Father and the Son, that's, I mean, some of these verses are very hard to believe.
