“Colour and I are one. I am a painter.” – Paul Klee

When I read the above quote by Paul Klee in one of our local papers, ( Northern News, March 14, 2012, page 7 )  a verse from the BIBLE came to my mind, namely where the Lord Jesus Christ says in John 10:30 “‘THE FATHER AND I ARE ONE.'” ( NLT )

In John 10:38 the Lord Jesus Christ says, “‘Then you will know and understand that the Father is in me, and I am in the Father.'” Please read the whole verse in the New Living Translation. (NLT)

In John 14:9-10 the Lord asks Philip the question: “‘Don’t you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me?'”  (NLT)

And then we read that the Father is working through the Lord Jesus Christ. The Father lives in the Lord Jesus Christ.

The Lord Jesus Christ is speaking the words of the Father.

In John 17:11 the Lord is praying for the disciples to be united. (NLT)

And in John 17:20 the Lord is also praying for us (all believers) .  What is he praying? (NLT)

He is praying that we will be one.

He is praying that we may be in the Father and in the Son.

Why?

That the world will believe that He was sent by the Father.
