But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.—When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, . . . “I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us.” Phil. 1:5; 1 Cor. 12:12, 13; 1 Cor. 1:9; 1 John 1:3; 1 John 1:7; John 17:1, 20, 21 (Read full verses...) << May 18 | May 19 | May 20 >> Excerpted from Daily Light on the Daily Path ©2002 Crossway Books, a publishing ministry of Good News Publishers.
