Jesus prayed for oneness because he believed it was possible. He prayed for oneness because it’s essential. It doesn’t come naturally. We will have to fight for it. Forgive for it. Serve for it. Lose for it. But remember, it was Christianity—not the Republican Party or the Democratic Party—that shaped Western civilization. It was the teaching of Jesus—not our political parties—that laid the groundwork for our modern sense of justice, fairness, and dignity of the individual.
