So if you're listening to this, I want to encourage you to examine your life. Think about the things that actually get in the way of your relationship with others - issues, doctrines, practices, gender, race, ethnicity, nationality, culture. All those things are important, God has given us those things as gifts. But there's one thing that brings us together. As the Apostle Paul said to a church that was filled with divisions, the Apostle Paul said, "I am determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified." So we come to the cross, we deny ourselves, we set our identity aside, and we cling to our identity in Christ, and that brings us into perfect, transcendent, supernatural unity.
