The world doesn't agree on much. Our family cannot agree on whether mustard or ketchup is the superior condiment. Other families are torn apart by the debate around the designated hitter. Still others cannot decide if chili is a soup or not.
Think of all the various things that divide the world, from physical boundaries to political debates. 8 billion people and 12 billion opinions.
So how powerful it is to have something that cuts across borders, across ideologies, across differences of opinion. We have one common hope in Christ. We have one faith, one baptism, one God. The Christian church is a big tent, and Christ is over all and through all and in all. In him, we are united. In him, we have hope. In him, we gather and are sent.
Prayer for Today: Lord, thank you for the one hope we have. Give me your vision to see ways to find common ground with those around me.
