Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! Psalm 133:1
God is a God of unions. Our union with the Lord Jesus is tied to Calvary, where the foundation was laid for an innumerable company to “cleave unto the Lord” (Acts 11:23). When we see His face, our union with Him will be as it was before sin entered into this world—perfect, because it is based upon that perfect Man, even upon the “measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ” (Eph 4:13). “For all the promises of God in Him are yea, and in Him Amen, unto the glory of God by us” (2 Cor. 1:20). Till then, let us strive to live in unity with our brethren in Christ. —Tom Steere
Thus may we abide in union with each other and the Lord,
And possess, in sweet communion, joys which earth can ne’er afford.—John Newton
