Call To Die

Then [Jesus] said to them all, "If anyone wants to come with Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow Me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life because of Me will save it. (Luke 9:23-24, HCSB)

Preservation and Unity

"And I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are one" (John 17:11 ESV). 

We're kept and unified by God's power and authority. Our preservation and unity are tied to the Father and Son's eternal relationship.

Jesus' Prayer and Our Belonging Show Divine Personal Distinction and Essential Unity

"All mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them." (John 17:10 ESV) 

Jesus uses "mine" and "yours," showing the distinction between the divine persons. Belonging of the Son's to the Father's shows divine unity.
