When Jesus prayed for unity (Jn 17:20-23), He was not praying for unity in division, but for true unity. The pursuit of true unity is a pursuit that many have given up on. As a matter of fact, “religious” division or the politically correct term, “diversity”, is the result of people giving up on the noble pursuit of unity and truth. “Unity in diversity” is the call of the day. So many have settled in the “I’m okay and your okay” mentally, that the idea of true unity has become impossible in their minds.  It has become evident that even those who profess to be Christians even taken religious tolerance to the point that “happy medians” are even being sought and found by those who should be diametrically opposed to each other.

HE law of God relative to marriage is rather simple and easy to understand. Simplicity generally characterized our Lord as He talked. We are told in Mark 12:37 that the common people heard him gladly. They would not have heard him gladly if they could not have understood him. It is beyond our comprehension that One who was with God in the creation and who possessed knowledge as far above ours as the heavens are above the earth could come in the flesh and so speak that the common people could hear Him gladly. They were the ones that were the easiest for him to reach. He did not reach the high and mighty, and certainly he made no effort to speak only to the high and mighty. He made a special effort to speak to the poor, to those who had had less opportunity in the field of education, and to those who were little in their own sight.
