WHY CAN'T CHRISTIANS GET ALONG?

We can understand why human beings who are not followers of Jesus can't get along...

BUT WHY CAN'T GENUINE CHRISTIANS GET ALONG?

The stakes are cosmically high and the impact is literally out of this world for the community of believers in Jesus Christ, locally and globally, to live and work in unity. 

"(10)...the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known through the church to the rulers and the authorities in the heavenly places.(11) This was in accordance with the eternal purpose which He carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord,..." (Ephesians 3:10–11).

“When the multi-ethnic, unified assembly of human beings (e.g. the new humanity) get together, disregarding the boundary lines of identity that work to keep them apart, 

THEY ARE THE WISDOM OF GOD INCARNATE. ”

The stakes have always been high from the very beginning when God entered into a "partnership" with Humanity as His Image Bearers to share His dominion through a "mediated rule" (Genesis 1.26—28). 

We are to rule this world with WISDOM. 

What wisdom personified looks like is Humans loving their neighbors as themselves. 

Is this reality just too much to expect from the Church then & now? 

Is God just dangling a carrot that is too far to reach? 

Even more sobering, are Christians and Christian Leaders even aware that this is the threshold by which the world will observe & experience the tangible presence of God? 

Can we do better? 

How can we do better?
