Up To Jerusalem in Unity – Psalm 133:1 Behold How Good! Behold How Pleasant! Dwell Together

Jesus: Unity based Upon Right Authority “that they all may be one; even as thou, Father art in me, and I in thee, that they may believe that thou didst send me” (Jn. 17:21) “Holy Father, keep them in thy name which thou hast given me, that they may be one, even as we are” (Jn. 17:11)

Jesus: Unity based Upon Right Authority “that they all may be one; even as thou, Father art in me, and I in thee, that they may believe that thou didst send me” (Jn. 17:21) “Holy Father, keep them in thy name which thou hast given me, that they may be one, even as we are” (Jn. 17:11) Remain in Christ’s authority – God’s oneness

Jesus: Unity based Upon Right Authority “that they all may be one; even as thou, Father art in me, and I in thee, that they may believe that thou didst send me” (Jn. 17:21) “Holy Father, keep them in thy name which thou hast given me, that they may be one, even as we are” (Jn. 17:11) Remain in Christ’s authority – God’s oneness World will believe Christ sent by Father – authority of God behind Jesus.

Jesus: Unity based Upon Right Authority “that they all may be one; even as thou, Father art in me, and I in thee, that they may believe that thou didst send me” (Jn. 17:21) “Holy Father, keep them in thy name which thou hast given me, that they may be one, even as we are” (Jn. 17:11) Remain in Christ’s authority – God’s oneness World will believe Christ sent by Father – authority of God behind Jesus. What Would Jesus Do? – We are His Spiritual Body - Hospitals, Kitchens, etc. The Apostles led the church to do exactly what Jesus authorized (Jn. 16:13-15)

How Jesus Applied Scripture- Remaining In God’s Authority What God Commands (Matt. 8:4) Approved Examples (Matt. 12:1-8) Necessary Inference (Matt. 22:31-33) Scripture Must Harmonize (Matt. 4:7) Did Jesus just place a 19 th. Century mind set as a grid upon Scripture???

Holy Spirit Establishing Brethren GOSPEL – Source of Authority(Heb. 1:2, 2:1-4; Matt. 17:5) EXPRESSED COMMAND (Heb. 7:5) APPROVED EXAMPLE: – To Avoid (Heb. 3:18-19, 4:1,11) – To Imitate (Heb. 11:4, 12:1-2, 13:7) NECESSARY INFERENCE (Psm. 95:7, 11; Heb. 4:7-8) ATTITUDE – Respect God’s Silence (Heb. 1:5, 13; 7:12-14, 8:4) Mechanical Instruments of Music? (Eph. 5:19)

How Good – How Pleasant Dwelling Together In Unity Humility (not puffed up) – one mind and judgment – Caring for soul and purity in the church (I Cor. 1:10, 4:6, 18, 5:1-8, Eph. 4:1-6, Phil. 4:2) Respect for Conscience of others (Rom. 14: :2; I Cor. 8:8, 10:23-33) Dwelling in atmosphere of true love (Col. 3:12-14, I Cor. 13:4-7; Rom. 14:15, 2 Cor. 2:8-11)
