Keep the Unity
April 30th, 2019
Ephesians 4:1-8
We are bound together by Christ’s love; we are one in HIm. We belong to each other. Though differences may arise, we are to be patient with each other, doing all that we can to stay perfectly unified.
As we are gracious with others, we remain united through the bond of peace. When we seek to be peacemakers, when we seek to be charitable in discussions, we are strengthening the bond of peace. Most points of contention are not salvific issues and we can graciously disagree without choosing to be offended, remaining peaceful in our interactions.
In doing this, we show the world that the Body of Christ is united. Those who would be enemies are reconciled in Christ. This is a true expression of Christ’s redeeming work: unity in the midst of difference. An expression of genuine love for one another is like a beacon shining in the darkest night. It draws others to it, growing the Body of Christ. Let us seek to be peacemakers, united as one.
