Seven "Ones"

Ephesians 4:1-7

Unity in the Body of Christ
1 As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. 2 Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. 3 Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. 4 There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to one hope when you were called— 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

7 But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it.

Bee's Thoughts:

One body—we are a single family unified for one purpose
One Spirit—we all have the Spirit as our power source
One hope—we all look forward to the same future
One Lord—we all trust the same Person in charge
One faith—we all trust Jesus' sacrifice for our salvation
One baptism—we all have a single identity
One God and Father—we all share the same source of our existence

"Followers of Christ should focus on what unites them, not on what divides them."

Thank you, my Father, for reminding us that we are ONE in Christ Jesus. We should emphasize on the oneness that unites us instead of the differences that divide us. Help us be "completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love", that the world may know that Jesus Christ is Lord. Amen
