Integrity: nothing left to prove

Morning: Psalm 1, 2, 3; Daniel 1:1-21; I John 1:1-10
Evening: Psalm 4, 7; John 17:1-11
Jesus prayed for his disciples to be one, as God is One.  1. Firstly he wanted them to be at one within themselves … to be true to themselves instead of pursuing fanciful notions about themselves. Jesus wanted them to know God because then they would experience eternal life.  Eternal life is when you want to say: ‘Now this is living!’  2. Secondly, Jesus wanted the disciples to be at one with one another.  It’s easier to be at one with others if you are at one within yourself.  You have nothing left to prove.
