Living as one
Maundy Thursday · Psalm 133: How Good When We Dwell in Unity
For today
On the night he was betrayed, Jesus washed his disciples' feet and prayed that they would be one. This little psalm calls that unity good and pleasant, and a place of blessing.
Begin with these verses
Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in harmony!
It is like the dew of Hermon falling on the mountains of Zion. For there the LORD has bestowed the blessing of life forevermore.
In Christ
How this psalm points to Jesus
A theme the whole Bible completes in Christ · verse 1
At the Last Supper Jesus gave a new commandment, to love one another as he loved us, and prayed that his followers would be one as he and the Father are one.
verse 34A new commandment I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you also must love one another. verse 35By this everyone will know that you are My disciples, if you love one another.”
verse 20I am not asking on behalf of them alone, but also on behalf of those who will believe in Me through their message, verse 21that all of them may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I am in You. May they also be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me.
