Student Choice #2: Luke Taylor

Jesus cries out in prayer to his Father before he goes to the cross and prays for the body of Christ to be in complete unity. I believe that when the body can be in this unity the love of Christ will be great emphasized. Think about it, when all God’s children get a long and love one another selflessly, a miracle is being birthed and witnessed by the world. We live in a world full of brokenness and emptiness; a world that rejects those who aren’t “worthy” in the eyes of others. If we could put our selfishness aside and simply LOVE and be unified in that love I believe the world would see more authentic life in the Creator of this world. The unfortunate part to that beautiful plan is how hard it has to be in order to see it happen. So many people don’t want to follow, listen, obey, etc. So many people struggle to remove their own pride, myself included, and because of that we let it hinder us from true freedom and love in the Savior of the world, Jesus Christ. I wonder if one day mankind will finally get it; if the churches will finally understand that it doesn’t have to be so complicated. All we have to do is LOVE ONE ANOTHER and die to ourselves. It is two simple directions but almost impossible to follow.
