Here Jesus expands on the idea of oneness between himself, the Father, and His Church to include being perfectly one. The reasons attached to this need of oneness are that the world would know that Jesus was sent by God and that the disciples are loved by God just as Jesus is loved by the Father. We are close to God and we should be close to each other in the church. There should be a close unity between all believers. The divisions between us should be left at the door and we should be one in Jesus.
