A Call for Unity



                        The Prophet Jesus' (pbuh) and his Disciples' lives are
                   a good example of this. As the Gospel relates:
                        And will give our attention to prayer and spreading the word
                        of God. (Acts, 6: 4)
                        My brothers, if one of you should wander from the truth and
                        someone should bring him back, remember this: Whoever
                        turns a sinner from the error of his way will save him from
                        death and cover a multitude of sins. (James, 5: 19-20)
                        People are called on to have good moral virtues thus
                   in the Torah:

                        Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it. (Psalm,
                        34: 14)
                        Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, the alien or the
                        poor. In your hearts do not think evil of each other.'
                        (Zechariah, 7: 10)
                        Seek good, not evil, that you may live. Then the Lord God
                        Almighty will be with you, just as you say he is. Hate evil,
                        love good…(Amos, 5: 14-15)

                                Not to Demand Miracles


                        Throughout history, people have asked Prophets for
                   miracles so that they would believe. As Jesus (pbuh) put
                   it:
                        "Unless you people see miraculous signs and wonders,"
                        Jesus told him, "you will never believe." (John, 4: 48)
