1 Corinthians 1:10---Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
A story
is told of Tonto and the Lone Ranger riding through a canyon one afternoon. All
of a sudden, both sides were filled with American Indian warriors on horses,
dressed for battle and shouting loudly. The Lone Ranger turned to Tonto and
asked, “What are we going to do?” Tonto replied, “What do you mean, ‘we’,
kemosabe?” It’s amazing how when times get tough and we encounter adversity,
one of the first things to be sacrificed is unity. And when we think about the
challenges facing Christians today, many of these things are sadly dividing
brothers and sisters in Christ when we need to be united more than ever.
Christian unity in the face of adversity, however, isn’t some unattainable
concept. In fact, when we as believers in Christ maintain our commitment to the
truth of Scripture and to the fellowship of the Spirit, unity just seems to
happen. When challenges come, we as the body of Christ must face them together.
So stay committed to biblical truth. Reaffirm your devotion to one another in
the Spirit. When you make those things your priorities, adversity will bring
you together instead of tearing you apart!
