Therefore if
you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from
his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and
compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same
love, being one in spirit and of one mind.
- Philippians 2:1-2 (NIV)
Paul’s words here are a powerful call to unity. He reminds us that our encouragement, comfort, and compassion all flow from our relationship with Christ. If we have truly experienced His love, then we are called to reflect that love in our relationships with one another.
Unity doesn’t mean we all have to think exactly alike or agree on every detail. Instead, it means we share the same love—the love of Christ—and let that love guide our actions, our words, and our attitudes. Paul urges us to be "one in spirit and of one mind," not for our own sake, but so that the world can see Christ through us.
Imagine a community where everyone is quick to encourage, eager to comfort, and overflowing with compassion. That’s the kind of church, the kind of workplace, the kind of family that brings joy to God’s heart and hope to the world.
So today, let’s ask ourselves: Are we living out the unity and love that Christ has shown us? Are we making His joy complete by being like-minded, sharing His love, and working together in harmony? May we be a people who reflect Christ’s love in all we do.
