Unity in One Body

Last night I watched the election results. As I listened to the commentators, I heard each slicing and dicing Americans into boxes and discussing why they are voting the way they are. My concern is that after the election we as a nation will continue to be divided. Unity is the best part of the United States. We always come together in times of peace and conflict. We help each other when there are tragedies.

Over the past couple of years, I have seen more and more division in our Christian faith. Churches are breaking apart. I have heard pastors talking about other churches and gossiping. We as Christians need to remember that we are united together by our faith and that we are a part of one body.

Paul in Galatians reminds us that there are no "boxes". We are part of one body. The body of Christ Jesus.

There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus. Galatians 3:28 (NLT)
