"I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought." (1 Corinthians 1:10 NIV)
Dr. George Truett once told the story about an old gentleman visiting a well-known art gallery one day, gazing earnestly at a picture of Christ on the Cross. Involuntarily, the man was so moved that he sighed quietly, "Bless Him! I love Him!"
A stranger standing nearby overheard the old man. Taking the old gentleman by the hand, the stranger said, "Brother, I love Him, too." Then a third and a fourth person joined them and soon there was a small crowd standing before the picture and worshiping Him who they adored.
They were drawn together by their common love of the crucified Saviour.
No matter our differences of opinions or religious heritages, we all can find a common ground at the foot of the Cross of our Saviour.
