We've been on a subject on Sunday for some time that we're calling the Ministry of Reconciliation.

And we've been, I think, maybe this may be our 12th lesson on it.

And I think we're nearing the completion of this particular teaching. But I feel like

we weren't quite through with this, at least. Need to talk about it another time at least.

And so let's get into it. Psalm 133, verse 1. He said, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren

to dwell together in unity. It's like the precious ointment upon the head that ran down

the beard, even Aaron's beard, and went down the skirts of his garment. The dew of Herman and the

dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion, for there the Lord

commanded the blessing even life forevermore.

It is wonderful when we are in unity, in harmony.

Well, by contrast, it's terrible when we're not, when we're in strife and we're fighting,

and there's animosity.

And you'll notice where there's unity, there was anointing and there was blessing.

And you'll see that in the New Testament repeatedly when they were in one place and one mind and one accord.

Great things happened.

Spirit of God manifested.

Anointing and blessing and miraculous things.

And it's no coincidence that the New Testament commandment is what?

For us to love one another, as this is believers, Christians loving one another as he has loved

us.

And numerous other scriptures in the New Testament,

encourage us and even command us to be in unity and not be in strife.
