The Psalmist tells us that unity is “good and pleasant,” but the experience of unity and harmony and peace seems so elusive, maybe even an illusion or fantasy. In a world like ours, should we just give up on the vision of unity? Not if we are followers of Jesus Christ! The Gospel of John records that on the night before he gave his life for us on the cross Jesus prayed that we might be one, not just for his sake, or for our sake, but for the sake of the world.
