In the context of Ephesians 4, unity is a central theme that flows from the spiritual foundation established by the Father and the Son through the Holy Spirit. This unity is not a mere social camaraderie or a forced alliance against a common enemy, but a profound spiritual connection that emanates from God to us, and from us to each other, returning to Him. It is rooted in a shared belief in truth and cannot be achieved through external corporate mergers or political unions. Instead, it must be generated from within, among those who hold the same beliefs, attitudes, and policies, flowing naturally from the inside out. Paul emphasizes that this unity of the Spirit already exists, as seen in Ephesians 4:3, where he instructs to keep or guard it, not to create it. Even in a scattered state, we can remain unified through faith, guided by the Holy Spirit rather than a corporate body. This unity is not dependent on numbers or organizational structure, for God knows where His people are, and the same spiritual growth can occur in various groups. The Body of Christ remains whole, undivided, though composed of individuals who may be spiritually strong or weak based on their personal yielding to God. Our responsibility is to guard this unity by maintaining our individual relationship with God, striving to be a healthy part of the Body. We cannot force unity externally, but we can work on ourselves, ensuring that our conduct and beliefs align with the calling we have received. Sin, which divides and separates, was bridged by Jesus Christ, allowing us access to God and the potential for reconciliation. Each of us must contribute to maintaining this reconciliation by living a life worthy of our invitation, becoming holy, and thus preserving the unity that God has already established.

Our battle is not with other men, but to maintain the perfect unity with the Father, the Son, and one another, as memorialized in our recommitment to share the table with the King of Peace. Passover is a celebration of peace with the Father, the Son, and one another, provided by the King of Peace who has always been there. When we keep the Passover, we must understand it as a peace offering, a meal shared in unity with the Father, the Son, and each other. The King of Peace will sit down with us on that night, alongside the Father, to share a significant meal, indicating a peaceful sharing of bread and wine in unity. On the night of the Passover, Jesus Christ shared with His disciples, having lived a perfect offering to the Father and completed His work to have us sit at His table in peaceful unity with Him, the Father, and one another. Our King of Peace offers us to sit with Him in the peace offering, and we must keep this focus on remembrance as we prepare for Passover.
