“LIVING IN HARMONY.” I consider this topic not only relevant but very timely for if there is anything we all as Christians at the ecclesiastical level , it is how to truly live together in harmony. It must be noted today that there is so much division in the body of Christ and the enemy has always taken advantage of this to unleash terror on us. The popular saying is true, United we stand, divided we fall. Being so much concerned about the divisions in the body of Christ, John Wesley tells of a dream he had. In the dream, he was ushered to the gates of Hell. There he asked, “Are there any Presbyterians here?” The quick answer was, “Yes!” Then he asked, “Are there any Baptists? Any Episcopalians? Any Methodists?” The answer was Yes! each time. He was very disappointed. Wesley was then ushered to the gates of Heaven. There he asked the same question, and the answer was No! “No?” To this, Wesley asked, “Who then is inside?” The answer came back, “There are only Christians here.”
