People's Commentary (NT)
John 17:22
The glory which thou gavest to me I have given to them. God gave
Christ the glory of Sonship and this resulted in their unity. So Christ
gives to his disciples the glory of becoming the sons of God
(John 1:12 1Jo 3:1). This glory, the adoption and gift of the Spirit,
ought to effect
that they may be one as we are one. We cannot pray this prayer of
Jesus and have the party spirit or labor to build up sectarianism. In
the spirit of love we should oppose it, and labor to destroy sectarian
names, creeds, organizations and interests. As the Son and the Father
are one, have one work, one kingdom, one spirit, one interest, so must
all that are Christ's. We must "keep the unity of the Spirit in the
bond of peace" (Ephesians 4:3). There is "one body" and "one Spirit", as
there is "one Lord" (Ephesians 4:4).
