1 Timothy 2:5-6

For there is one God. There is also one mediator between God and the human race, Christ Jesus, himself human, who gave himself as ransom for all.

The footnote in my bible about this passage said that it is being written to Timothy to encourage unity. It has been amazing over the last few weeks to see our community come together as we faced a major hurricane and the recovery efforts that followed. We saw the same unity in the aftermath of Harvey in Texas. Yet in many ways our country is still incredibly divided, politically, religiously, and racially. It seems everywhere you look there is another reason to hate our neighbor. Today let's remember the unity that follows disaster and strive for that unity in the easy times as well. Let us all remember that Christ came to redeem EVERYONE, not just the people we think are worthy of redemption.
