Why is Jesus considered the source of unity among believers?
Answered in 1 source
Jesus is our source of unity because all blessings poured upon Him flow down to His body, the Church, creating a bond among believers (Ephesians 4:4).
Our Lord Jesus Christ stands as the font of unity for those who believe in Him. In Ephesians 4:4, we read about one body and one Spirit, indicating that our unity as believers derives from our shared connection to Christ. The anointing that God has poured upon Jesus—symbolized by the oil in Psalm 133—flows down to us, His body, enriching our life together in the faith. This divine connection not only binds us in mutual love and support but also empowers us to reflect His nature in our interactions with one another. Therefore, knowing that all the blessings of Christ are shared among us reinforces our commitment to fostering unity.
