John 17:23 New International Version (NIV)
23 I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought
to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have
loved them even as you have loved me.
How will the world come to know that God sent his Son?
Through our unity? How will the world know that God truly loves us as his
children? When we live together in unity. What is that unity? That's harder to
define. The basis of unity is a life of character so consistent with the will
of God that he can be seen living in us! Yet for this kind of unity to be seen
by the world, it has to be visible in the way we work with each other in the
cause of the Gospel, the way we handle our differences, the way as a group that
we consistently treat people of the world, and the way we come together in
areas that clearly matter to God. May it only be so!
Thought for today: Do I seek to find commonality?
