Division [ John 15 v 9 - 17 ]

In the book of Genesis [ 10 v 25 ]we read of a man called Peleg, he was a decendant of Shem a son of Noah, now we dont know much about this person, but we know that his name means, division. We live at a time when many people seek to trace their ancestry, I think many of us are the decendants of Peleg, and I am speaking about us Christians. Within the Christian church from time to time division raises it ugly head, it is not new , the Corinthian church was full of it, read about it in chapter 1 v 10 -17 of first Corinthians, the fact of the matter is, it is still happening, sad to say. Our Saviour prayed that we may be one, [John 17 v 21 ], He also commanded us to love one another,[ John 15 v12 ], the question is ,are we fulfilling these things ?, or are we ignoring them as if they dont matter, it is the apostle of love John, who wrote, / If we love our Christian brothers and sisters, it proves that we have passed from death to life [ 1 John 3 v14 ] .[ Dear loving heavenly Father as You have loved us, help us to love one another, we ask this in the name and for the sake of our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen ]
