Not only are Christians to be
collective representatives of Christ on earth but also individual
representatives as each one strives to be like Him. That's the key to unity in the church. If all of us were more like Christ, we' have
no problem getting along with each other.
But unfortunately, we are not always in tune with one another because we
are not all fully following Christ.
A.W. Tozer (1897-1963) once said that if a hundred pianos were merely
tuned to each other, their pitch would not be very accurate. But if they were all tuned to one tuning
fork, they would automatically be tuned to each other. Similarly, unity in the church isn't the
result of running around and adjusting to everyone else. Rather, the key to unity is becoming like
Jesus Christ.
- John Macarthur
