Every groom is concerned when his bride is sick. One thing that concerns Jesus is when His bride, the church, is racked with disunity. That’s why the Holy Spirit works to bring Inward Unity (between churches and individual believers). When Jesus prayed for this unity in John 17, He knew it was intricately connected to Outward Unity (between God and lost people) as well. “May they be one as we are one so the world may know that you have sent me.” (paraphrased) Listen to hear more about the Holy Spirit and the unity He brings.
