All the Parts Constitute a Whole
John 17:20-26

Saliere, an old man, described his reaction years earlier upon examining the score for an oboe concerto by Mozart. It made no sense to him. He couldn't see how the music fit together. And then...he saw the oboe part "way up above," with a clarinet taking over. He was awed by its brilliance. All the parts constituted a stunning whole that deeply impacted the Saliere before it was ever even played. So goes a scene from the movie "Amadeus."

God has so arranged individuals in the body of Christ so that they constitute a oneness that impacts the world. This oneness is dependent on God's enabling each of us to know him. God enables us to know him so that we may be united in a manner that testifies to the world regarding Christ.
