Ephesians 1:8-9 (NIVUK)
…With all wisdom and understanding, 9 he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, 10 to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.
Unity is not just something that God values and calls us to seek, but it is also at the heart of his mission. His plan is to bring about not just church unity, but to bring all things into unity – to reconcile all things – through Christ. Try and imagine, if you can, what a truly united world would look like.
Father, help us to pursue reconciliation and unity in every area of our lives. Help us to be peacemakers for you.
