Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. Colossians 3:15 Imagine a strand of wire about as thick as the lead of a pencil. It might be strong enough to support the weight of a few hundred pounds…maybe. Now think about the Brooklyn Bridge. It weighs about 15,000 tons, stretches for more than a mile, and has stood for 130 years. You would consider the wire ordinary and the bridge magnificent. But the Brooklyn Bridge is made mostly of those thin strands of wire, thousands of them intricately laid together. The strength of the finished cable, wrote historian David McCollough in The Great Bridge, would depend on getting each strand into its exact, particular position. Christians often overlook the importance of unity, but believers in Jesus are called in one body. You are an integral part of God’s plan to bring people into relationship with Him, and others will be drawn to the Savior through you…but only when you are in the particular position God has for you. Your spiritual strength is maximized when you work with other believers as the Lord intended. May America’s Christian leaders and citizens not be seen as frayed and splayed, but as one body – united and strong! --PPT
