Unity, peace and harmony is beautiful to behold and a wonderful thing to experience. It is beautiful like the anointing oil poured over Aaron and like the heavy morning dew that glistens on Mt. Zion.
You know it when you see it, but you can’t understand it, explain it or even describe it; and furthermore, you cannot make it happen. Unity and oneness is a gift and blessing from God alone.
There is a Unity in many living things that we cannot understand, create or control; these things are mysteries that we can believe, enjoy and sometimes experience: the Trinity, Christ the God-man, one flesh marriage, family ties, church fellowship, body and blood in the bread and wine, God in you, you in Christ.
God allows to humans the power to divide and separate and destroy the unity that God creates. Sin and death separate, and the devil divides incessantly. God holds it all together if we but repent of divisiveness and believe the Gospel: God’s Love alone has the power to hold together what He has joined. There, on Zion, the presence of God, He has commanded the blessing of life forevermore.
