John 17:21-23
May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.
Psalm 133
How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity!
I’ve been thinking through unity over the last few days. I was really struck today that this is an area where I’m not walking the talk. It’s an area where I’ve been firing off unhelpful emails and facebook comments, been critical of others, and also been prone to talking of others behind their back. I’ve really been reminded tonight of my own need to come back to the foot of the cross and accept the sacrifice that was made, to bring my own failing to that place and to throw myself once again on his mercy. I have been reminded that Jesus was passionate about unity, and yet I haven’t been living up to this. I serve and follow a Holy God, a powerful God and a righteous God. There are many ways in which I fall short of His glory and I’m ever thankful that the cross allows me to be reconciled to Him. I am most unworthy of His grace and yet He lavishes it upon me.
Worthy, you are worthy, you are worthy to be Lord
Holy are you Lord God Almighty
And can it be that I should gain an interest in the Saviour’s blood?
Amazing Grace
