One Church
Ephesians 4:4-6
“We should really be one church.”
—NO RUSTY SWORDS
The disunity of the Christian church is a sore that runs through much of the church’s two-thousand-year history. On the other hand, the richness of the biblical writings is such that their truth could hardly be contained within a single organizational structure. While organizational unity may not be achievable or even desirable, Christians are nevertheless one in Christ and should express that fact in practical cooperation. If Christians who name Christ as their only Lord cannot work together in practical ways then their confession of Christ may not mean as much as it seems.
Meditation
If unity is not organic, practical, and grassroots, it may not be worth having.
