Romans 15:5-6 (NIV)
5 May the God who gives endurance and encouragement
give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus
had, 6 so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the
God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Unity comes from God's Spirit as we follow Jesus. But, unity
has a purpose much deeper than our getting along with each other. Jesus prayed
we would be one so that the world would know that God sent Jesus into the world
as his Son (John 17). We want to be
united so that our praise can bring glory to God. Unity is far more than a
goal. Unity is a process through which the world learns of Jesus. At the same
time, we glorify the Father who sent Jesus to save us. Leading others to Jesus
and glorifying God are what living for Jesus is all about! Let's make unity our
passion!
Thought for today:
Do I seek to find unity (common ground) with others?
