...//the word to all who are a part

a bond...

ephesians 4:1-6 message

^1-3In light of all this, here's what I want you to do. While I'm locked up here, a prisoner for the Master, I want you to get out there and walk—better yet, run!—on the road God called you to travel. I don't want any of you sitting around on your hands. I don't want anyone strolling off, down some path that goes nowhere. And mark that you do this with humility and discipline—not in fits and starts, but steadily, pouring yourselves out for each other in acts of love, alert at noticing differences and quick at mending fences.

^4-6You were all called to travel on the same road and in the same direction, so stay together, both outwardly and inwardly. You have one Master, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who rules over all, works through all, and is present in all. Everything you are and think and do is permeated with Oneness.

we are all united, in a bond together, for the greater good, the bigger picture...

...//bond: something that binds, fastens, confines or holds together | something that binds a person or persons to a certain circumstance or line of behavior | something, as an agreement or friendship, that unites individuals or peoples into a group; covenant

the greater picture is what God has called us to do...

not just as a team at t | z | m but as a body...

this is going to be one of the greatest moments in history...

a sending out, a launching of great men and women, trained in reconciliation, lit with a fire so deep that it's unquenchable...

the fire that refines and on the other side reflects the Glory of God...

how beautiful this is...

how amazing this will be...

a bond of unity, a bond of love...
