2 Corinthians 13:11 Finally, brothers and sisters, farewell. Put things in order, listen to my appeal, agree with one another, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you.
The very end of Paul's letter to the Corinthians contains this blessing and exhortation. Paul wanted them to hear these words at the very end.
Put things in order, listen to my appeal, agree with one another, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you.
Agree with one another. Live in peace. These are some more of those very simple-sounding biblical concepts that seem so hard for us to live out "in the real world." Because the call is to agree with one another. The call is not to be so convincing that everyone would turn and agree with you. The call is not to defeat those who disagree with you through logical reasoning or illogical whining. The call is to agree with one another. Simple. Straight-forward. And the quest of a lifetime is to see if we can do it.
In Christ,
Pastor Seth
