The unity of Jesus’ followers is our great apologetic to a lost world.

Psalm 133:1-2
1 How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity! 2 It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on Aaron’s beard, down upon the collar of his robes.

An Explanation from the Bible Knowledge Commentary
The oil poured on Aaron’s head flowed down on his beard and shoulders, and onto the breastplate with the names of all 12 tribes. The oil thus symbolized the unity of the nation in worship under their consecrated priest.

Father, You know how rare and difficult true peace is this side of the garden. We feel the pain. We want to experience the pleasant gift of relational wholeness. You want to experience to pleasant gift of Your people unified! So give us oneness in our marriages. Give us togetherness in our families. Give us perseverance in our friendships. Give us affection and compassion in our local body. Give us the humility of Jesus that makes all this possible. We need Your help. We believe that nothing is impossible with You. In Jesus Name.

Thanks for joining us in prayer,
Neil
