Events which once brought our country together have become opportunities for the right and the left to push their own agendas. Instead of cooperation and togetherness, we get politicians, bloggers, and radicals whose only goals seems to be alienation and separation. In media, on street corners, at work and all over the web are messages of fear and division. One side blasts the other. The other reacts digging the divide deeper. And at the end of the day we’re all just forced further into our corners. Is it any wonder Jesus’ final prayer for his people was for unity? (John 17:21) To a broken and divided people the Apostle Paul writes, “Now I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you be in agreement and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same purpose.” I Corinthians 1:10 In the church we have a unique task in this divided world: be united. United in the same mind. United in the same purpose. And just so we’re clear what that mind and purpose are Paul continues in his letter to the Philippians, “Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus (Phil. 2:5).” Where the world builds a wall, may we join hands. Where society is stratified, may we work for justice and equality. Where everything seems broken, may we stand together as one. And where individuals push their own agenda and ideals, may we embrace the same mind and purpose as Christ. Let us pray. Great God, the divisions in this world continue. Heal this world. Heal your church. Unite us in mission, form us into the image of your Son, and free us from our allegiance to anyone or anything other than Christ, that together we might give our lives to the world as he gave himself for us. Amen. In the Way, Pastor Scott
