With 1,500 churches and denominations in the United States, the church is fragmented. Jesus calls us to be one, even as He and God are one. This is a great challenge, because we now go our separate ways in a peaceful coexistence. We can unify, not on all of the details that define each church or denomination, but on the simple commands Jesus gave us. Even the Jews had four sects at the time of Jesus, but they were all Jews and at least agreed on the Torah. If we can agree on a few commandments, we will have taken one giant step toward enjoying unity, even as Jesus enjoyed being one with the Father.
