God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
In John 13 the point was that, if an individual Christian does not show love toward other true Christians, the world has a right to judge that he is not a Christian. Here (in John 17:21) Jesus is stating something else which is much more cutting, much more profound: We cannot expect the world to believe the Father sent the Son, that Jesus' claims are true, and that Christianity is true, unless the world sees some reality of the oneness of true Christians.
Joy persists in the face of weakness, pain, suffering, even death (cf. James 1:2). Biblical joy produces a deep confidence in the future that is based on trust in God’s purpose and power. It results in the absence of any ultimate fear, since the relationship with Christ is eternal and unshakable (cf. Ps. 16:11; John 16:22)... Biblical joy is more than happiness. It is an act of the will in choosing to obey God. The result is a supernaturally produced emotion, the fruit of walking in the Spirit (Rom. 14:17; Gal. 5:22).
Step 1 - Drain pineapple, save juice. Add enough water to the pineapple
juice to make 2 1/2 cups of liquid. Place 1/4 cups of liquid in a pan and
bring to boil. Remove from heat and dissolve 1 pkg. of strawberry gelatin
in hot liquid. Then add 1/2 of the drained pineapple and 1/2 of the
cranberry sauce and stir until mixed. Pour this mixture into a 13x9" dish.
Chill until firm.
Step 2 - Beat softened cream cheese with sugar until blended. Gradually
beat in evaporated milk and vanilla. Soften the unflavored gelatin in 1/4
cup of water and heat it to dissolve the gelatin. Pour it into the cream
cheese mixture and mix until blended. Pour it over the "chilled" first
layer.
Step 3- Repeat step one. Pour this mixture over the "chilled" second layer.
Chill until set. Overnight is best.
