The Church, as the Body of Christ, is to be a unified manifestation of Jesus to the world.  The Apostle Paul asks the question, “Is Christ divided?” (1 Cor. 1:13).  Since Christ cannot be divided and the Church is Christ’s Body – the unity of the Church is to be a powerful witness to the truth of the gospel.  “I appeal to you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same judgment” (1 Cor. 1:10).  No wonder Satan invests so much diabolical energy in creating factions and divisions among God’s people.  Let’s pray for the unity of the Church.
