Jesus Christ died for Unity
Rev Samuel Mametsa, "Unity".
“Unity” by Rev Samuel Mametsa, Thursday Service, Good Friday Eve, the 05th April 2012.
“Jesus Christ died for Unity”.
It is important that we do not live or lives haphazardly because when we die we will be judged. We can’t be judged whilst still alive. It is important to scrutinize your life as you will be judged Father your life. It is your life that will be judged and you must make it right when you are still alive. Once you die it is already late.
Thursday is not the day that Jesus died but it is the day on which he suffered greatly, he was tortured. It is this time that he was betrayed, about this time when God forsake Him. The same night He said if possible let this cup pass me by, the same night that He prayed on the mountain until His sweat became blood.
Jesus Christ died for unity. Unity means oneness. The bible says we must be unified as Jesus Christ died for unity. Unity means united, means oneness. Jesus died for unity.
Genesis 11:1-9
“11 Now the whole earth had one language and one speech. 2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there. 3 Then they said to one another, "Come, let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly." They had brick for stone, and they had asphalt for mortar. 4 And they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth." 5 But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built. 6 And the Lord said, "Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them. 7 Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech."
8 So the Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they ceased building the city. 9 Therefore its name is called Babel, because there the Lord confused the language of all the earth; and from there the Lord scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth.” Gen 11:1-9, NKJV.
If we are not united we are cheating ourselves. Whether you pray in tongues, or whichever way, without unity, it is a waste. Remember unity develops love. According to the book of 1 Corinthians 13 you are wasting your time. Unity is very paramount.
The bible says when God created heaven and earth He also created humans beings and that when He created them He gave them one language. That one language is unity. It means we need to be united as we are speaking one language. The problem started when the unity made man to deviate from God’s ways. They started to think more than God. The problem is that when they were united they started to think they can defeat God. This time unity became a problem to God. The people that He had created were planning against Him. They wanted to build a tower that would reach the heaven so that when they reach the heavens they would be near to God.
The problem is that they did not realise that God knew their hearts. What I like about God is that He never develops/ed a spirit of pride.
“5 But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built. 6 And the Lord said, "Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them.”
This means unity can build something very big, make the church to grow, make something to change. When you are not united you can’t do anything. The one will go this way and the other that way. This people were unified and they agreed to build and that is why God felt threatened by that unity. ....
