Two become One

Weddings are so special. Yesterday my family participated in one of the biggest miracles that God offers us, two people becoming one.

But at the beginning of creation God ‘made them male and female.’‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.” Mark 10:7-8

Sarah and Billy entered into a new relationship where God took their individual lives and melded them together as they stood there in front of all of us. A miracle in our presence.  May God richly bless them as they navigate this new adventure together.

It is not the only time that we experience a oneness because of God’s miraculous intervention.

When we first believe in Jesus the bible says that we are given the Holy Spirit.

Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:38

Then as a fellowship of believers we also experience Oneness.

The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though all its parts are many, they form one body. So it is with Christ.  For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body–whether Jews or Greeks, slave or free–and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. I Corinthians 12:12-13

This brings me great joy! The body of Christ all over the world has become my family. No matter where I find myself I have brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers, even grandparents. Thank you Father for this great blessing.

Jesus takes it one step further with each of us who enter into a relationship with Him. He makes His home in us.

 Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. John 14:23

The two shall become One. What a blessing, what an honor that the God of the universe would come and dwell with us, giving us the blessings of unity and companionship.

Prayer

Thank you Jesus for unity, oneness, family and joy.
