Love one another

We are going to leave our study in the book of Acts this week to look at this psalm. This is a psalm of ascents, which means it was likely sung by Israelites as they neared Jerusalem on their way up to worship the Lord at an annual feast, such as Passover.

The psalm is about the blessedness of unity among God’s people: “Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity” (verse 1). We know how blessed peace is in our relationships, and how fleeting it can be. Because of sin, we all have a divisive, war-like nature within. It’s not easy to get along with each other, but when we do we are happier.
