—John 17:11-15
by: Cheryl Steele.
There is strength and protection in numbers. I definitely feel that Jesus was telling us that when we come together and work in unity toward the common goal of bringing God’s joy to others, we ourselves will find physical, emotional, and spiritual protection. When we are struggling, others will be there to protect us, just as we should be there to protect others. This was also reiterated by Paul with his description of the body of Christ being made up of many parts but that all are necessary for the body to function as it was intended to.
