the way. God promised us that we’d arrive safely one day. While
we are on the way, let’s keep the unity of the Spirit in a non-
divisive way.

We don’t have to strive to get everybody into our particular
fellowship, or try to get them to our particular church. All He is
saying is, “Be one in Christ”. You are one with every believer.
What a witness to the world. Didn’t Jesus say that? “By this
shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love
one for another.” God’s people are fighting all over the place.
Wouldn’t it be a wonderful blessing to the people of God?
Remember Psalm 133,

“Behold how good, how blessed it is for brothers to dwell
together in unity; like the precious oil upon the head that ran
down upon the beard; it’s like the dew of Hermon coming
down upon the mountains of Zion”.

There, in the place of unity, there the Lord commanded the
blessing, even forever.

It’s a wonderful responsibility. It would it be a witness to the world
and a blessing to the people of God. But more than that it would
warm the heart of the Lord Jesus who prayed in John 17,

“That they may be one, even as we are one; that they might
be one; that they might be in us as we are in them.”

That’s heavy on the heart of Christ. A tremendous responsibility
belongs to the people of God. Not to be one in faith….that’s
coming. Until then, every Christian needs to recognize every
other Christian as his brother, and his sister. We are one, and we
share a common Head, and a common Life.
