Wednesday: Further Reflection

Start with prayer. Ask God to impart wisdom to your mind, ask Jesus to relate the words to your soul, and ask the Holy Spirit to illumine your heart to their words.

Slowly read the passages again. Read them out loud if possible. Re-read Ephesians 2:11-20, Ephesians 4:1-6, and 1 Corinthians 12. 

Spend some time journaling/responding to the following prompts.

  • What do these passages say about the Gospel?
  • What is unity in light of that?
  • How is unity fundamental to the church, what is this unity leading towards?
  • Jesus is as the center of this unity we are called to, how do we strive towards that unity according to these passages?
  • How does the unifying Gospel impact your view on church, family, and society? 
  • How do the gifts described in Corinthians unify us?
  • What are some attributes of a person or community that is working towards unity? 

End in prayer. Ask God to impart wisdom to your mind, ask Jesus to relate the words to your soul, and ask the Holy Spirit to illumine your heart to their Words.
