Unification in God
An excerpt from Ezekiel 37:22b-23 (NRSV)
Never again shall they be two nations, and never again shall they be divided into two kingdoms. They shall never again defile themselves with their idols and their detestable things, or with any of their transgressions. I will save them from all the apostasies into which they have fallen, and will cleanse them. Then they shall be my people, and I will be their God.
Reflection from Butler Sharpe,
St. Gregory’s Episcopal Church:
‘Let Christ be your God’
God has promised to unify his people. He will save us, cleanse us and make us his own. ‘They will be my people, and I will be their God’. Through Christ, each day in our actions, work and words, we should allow him to be our Savior, Friend and Lord of all. Jesus loves us and he is always there to unify us.
