Charlotte Elia offers a reflection on John 17:20-26.
“Our dignity comes from the fact that we are created in the image of the Trinity, participate in God’s beauty, are redeemed by Jesus Christ, and are destined for an eternal life of communion with God. God has declared us worthy, has deemed us lovable, has called us heirs of salvation. God says that we are worth saving even if we seem hellbent on destroying ourselves. If we are worthy of God’s love, we are worthy of each other’s love. If we are worth salvation, then we are worth saving each other from this culture of death. Jesus did not die on a cross so that we could die under our desks.”
