The Obedient Family (Part 1)- Practical Unity

The Obedient Family (Part 1)- Practical Unity


Ephesians states a lofty truth, but how practical is it? Is it like a heavenly drawing board, full of grand ideas, but far from earthly reality? The history book called Acts holds the answer, for it describes the same truth as it works in practicality. The first congregation at Jerusalem sets the pace:


"All the believers were together and had everything in common.... Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts" (Acts 2:44,46).


The Jerusalem congregation grows to well over five thousand (Acts 4:4; 5:14). Most of these people are new to Christianity and to each other. Yet Acts 4:32 says, "All the believers were one in heart and mind." Which heart? Which mind? Do they follow the heart of this leader or of that leader? Should we today follow my mind or yours? Neither, for "in Christ" we die, and Christ takes control. 1 The "one mind" we share should be the revealed "mind of Christ" (1 Corinthians 2:16).




Practical Unity


Acts continues to record the history of unity. Even when the church enters new cultures and multiplies congregations, we see the continuing pattern of common, cooperative work for Christ. They send greetings of shared love. They share the same teachings wherever they go. Paul emphasizes that all receive the same teachings.


Are there problems? Of course! The Bible honestly reports racial tensions and personal disagreements. It describes serious trouble with false teachers. It also shows how the body brings each problem to the revealed mind of Christ. He always provides the solution that keeps the body united. This unity is not a vague, mystical theory, visible only from heaven. The mind of Christ transforms real people. They gather as real, visible congregations that work together under one Head. The unity of Ephesians is more than a great principle. It is the daily experience of Paul and early Christians. Yes, unity is practical!



Dear Members or Friends, True Disciples or Leaders and Rulers Lord Jesus' first disciples included His apostles. But they were not the last disciples, for He trained them to train others. "Make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you" (Matthew 28:19-20). Jesus our King did not say, "Make believers." A person may have some sort of belief, but never become a disciple. Our King Jesus does not say, "Make worshipers." People may give prayers and offerings without being disciples. All disciples believe and worship, but not all 'believers' and 'worshipers' are disciples. Our savior and King Jesus commands, "Make disciples." That term, as commonly used at that time, means, "Train learners who are committed to following their Teacher's instruction and example." Lord and our healer Jesus reinforces the meaning of continuing learning by saying, "...teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you" (Matthew 28:20). Some refer to Matthew 28:20 as the second half of the Great Commission. It may be more difficult to fulfill, but it is essential for spiritual health as you "grow up in your salvation." Hearing and obeying Christ our Lord and Savior, these are like air to the disciple. To stop breathing that air is to cease being a disciple.
