Les suplico, hermanos, en el nombre de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, que todos vivan en armonía y que no haya divisiones entre ustedes, sino que se mantengan unidos en un mismo pensar y en un mismo propósito. 1 Corintios 1:10 (Nueva Version Internacional)
No matter how you translate it, the good news of Jesus Christ is that He has covered the debt for our sins and made us one with Father again by His sacrificial death on the cross. He has risen again, and we are raised with Him to walk in a new life, His life! He has ascended to the right hand of the Father, having taken back the authority Adam handed to Satan to rule the world, and we are seated there with Him! Now He wants to use the flesh of all who would surrender their bodies and lives to Him to exercise that authority, expanding the realm, the kingdom, where His will is done on earth as it is in Heaven. Is there something that you have let divide you from others in whom Jesus dwells that you would be willing to lay down for the sake of unity and strength in our shared mission?
Time is short and much is at stake.
