Looking For Unity – 04

What is it Like? The Two Similes – 01 This study begins to examine the similes in verses 2 and 3 of Psalm 133. When the key to spiritual understanding unlocks the lessons of these verses, we walk through the Simile Gates and enter the sacred path leading to beautiful, biblical, brotherly unity. Here we discover that the fall of humanity has not destroyed the hierarchal design of God’s universe. The structure remains, but every human has fallen to the bottom. Nonetheless, at the foot of the Cross, redeemed humanity is lifted up in Christ and arranged through grace into the purposes and callings of the Great King. Biblical unity begins on level ground at the foot of the Cross, where the equally unworthy are made brethren by grace. Hence, the arrangement of these brethren within God’s new creation, while involving “gifts differing”, always conserves the duty of humility and service.
