It is no secret that we live in divisive times. It seems that everywhere we turn, there is someone or something trying to pull us apart. Whether it’s politics, race, religion, or any number of other things, it can feel like the world is trying to tear us apart.
But in the midst of all this division, there is one thing that can unify us. One thing that can bring us together as one flock, one family, one body with one head.
When we follow God, we are following the one who is the ultimate unifier. Know that he is the one who can break down the barriers that divide us. He is the one who can heal the wounds that have been inflicted on us. He is the one who can lead us into a new way of living – a way of living that is based on love, not division.
When we follow Jesus, we are following the one who calls us to love God and love our neighbor. It is a love that breaks down barriers and builds bridges. It is a love that heals wounds and brings hope.
When we follow Jesus, we are following the one who calls us to be the light in the darkness. We are called to be a people who stand up for what is right.
This unity is not something that we can achieve on our own. It is something that only God can give us. And it is something that we must ask for. We must pray for and we must seek.
So let us unify under the banner of Christ. And when we unite under one head, Jesus Christ, we will find true unity. We will find true love. We will find true peace. We will find true joy. We will find true life.
