Ephesians 4:1-6 I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call— one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
Having explained the "mystery" of the Church, Paul turns to us and says: "Now be the Church God has made you to be." The atmosphere we are to cultivate is oneness: a unity of spirit and purpose. we do this through the way we deal with one another: gently, humbly, patiently, lovingly, passionately, and dependent on the Holy Spirit. May we prove to be Christ's body as much on Monday as we did on Sunday.
