When I used the word "oneness" I was referring to that quality or state of being referred to by our Lord when he prayed to the Father,

“I pray for them. I do not pray for the world but for those whom You have given Me, for they are Yours. And all Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine, and I am glorified in them. Now I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep through Your name those whom You have given Me, that they may be one as We are." John 17:9-11

“I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me. John 17:20-23

When Jesus had spoken these words, He went directly to the garden where Judas betrayed him. So, the fact that it was the last thing the Lord prayed for before he was arrested indicates to me that the oneness or unity or whatever you want to call it, was of the highest importance to Him. So, that's what I'm seeking.
