UNITY

Samuel Rutherford, – 1600-1661

“Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!” (Ps. 133. 1).

Many things are good, as works of divine justice, and destroying the enemies of God, yet are not pleasant; and many things are pleasant that are not good, as the pleasures of sin for a season must be pleasant; but unity amongst brethren is both good and pleasant.

Shall we kill and devour one another all the day, and lodge together in one heaven at night; and can we say to one another in heaven, “Hast thou found me, O mine enemy”? Truth is never victorious by persecution: now the Scripture speaketh of a persecution with the tongue. “Come” (say they), “let us smite Jeremiah with the tongue.”

Lions and wolves pursue lambs. But we have not heard of war between lambs and lambs. Why should we strive, for we are brethren? How unseemly that one redeemed one should hate, persecute, and chase another redeemed one, even into the gates of heaven.
