“Living Together in Unity”

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to live together in unity! Psalm 133:1

This weekend, Cathy and I are traveling to Oregon for the wedding of our niece. I’m looking forward to seeing my family. Well, most of them.

Some members of my family don’t get along with each other, and so they won’t be at the wedding. It’s painful to see people I love not loving each other.

I think this is how God feels when He sees the children He loves not loving each other. Especially at family gatherings in His house of prayer. For God’s sake, we can work at living together in unity.

One day, we will be living together in unity. Forever. The people who make life difficult for us will finally be like Jesus. And so will we. This is our destiny in life. Romans 8:29 tells us that God has predestined us to be conformed to the image of his Son.

In Heaven, we will finally be able to have the relationships with each other that seem too difficult for us to have on earth. Spouses, parents and children, brothers and sisters, coworkers, neighbors, even Presbyterians will have amazing, blessed, and eternal relationships with each other

Heaven is described for us in many ways. One of them is a wedding banquet to celebrate the union between the groom, Jesus, and His bride, the church. One day, I will be with all of my family members at a wedding. But it won’t be in Oregon.

In Christ,

Pastor David
