"My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one... just as you are in me and I am in you."
(John 17:20-21a)

John Wesley disagreed with the other great leader of the 18th century evangelical revival, George Whitfield, on matters of theology, especially predestination and assurance of salvation for all believers. Their followers became heated about the differences, and one of Whitfield’s followers said to him, “When we get to heaven, shall we see Mr. Wesley there?” George Whitfield replied, “Sir, you and I shall be so far from the throne and Wesley shall be so near it that we shall scarcely catch sight of him.”
That is the graciousness of true unity – unity in faith in Christ and unity in the great work of evangelism.
