More than ever, especially in today’s world, we need to be one in Christ. Besides skin color, what makes us different? We all have a desire to live a happy life, safe and secure. To love our family and friends. We are all one in Christ, in the same family, from the same father. Children of the almighty that loves each and every one of us. Embrace all, the same as God loves all.

God has called us all into unity. There is one body, and one Spirit, just as also you were called in the hope of your calling. In Christ Jesus, you are all children of God through faith, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

I love watching this video, seeing the carefree joy on the people’s faces as they enjoy one another’s company. The pep in their dancing feet. Freely moving among each other, free of judgment, free of hate.

                              One in Christ

 For as the body is one and has many members,

but all the members of that one body,

 being many, are one body, so also is Christ.

We Are One in Christ

Written by: Sam Hargreaves

We are many,
God’s great diversity,
yet we are one in Christ.

Different faces,
different races,
yet we are one in Christ.

Butchers, bakers,
website makers,
bankers, tailors,
teachers, sailors,
yet we are one in Christ.

Fathers, mothers,
sisters, brothers,
single, married,
broken, carried,
yet we are one in Christ.

                                                                                                The happy, the clappy,

                                                                                              the barely out of nappies

                                                                                              the ancient, the modern,

                                                                                             the famous, the forgotten,

                                                                                                yet we are one in Christ.

Some hopeful, some hopeless,
some cope well, some cope less.
Some sure and some doubt,
some whisper, some shout,
yet we are one in Christ.

Those with abundance,
those with need,
those who are generous
or wrestle with greed,
yet we are one in Christ.

Elbows, tummies, knees, and noses,
kidneys, femurs, teeth, and toes.
Some unmentionable, some protected,
some accepted some rejected,
yet we are one in Christ.

A broken body,
torn apart,
mars God’s image,
breaks God’s heart.
And yet our Father knows how the end will be,
when all his kids will sing in harmony,
the bride will dazzle, her branches bloom,
so add your voice to hum the tune
that we are one in Christ.
