"1 Kings 7:37 Thus he made the ten carts. All of them were of the same mold, one measure, and one shape.
The mold that our lives are cast from is Christ. He is our measure and our shape. He is our portion. He is the one who shapes our lives. Intense heat and pressure are applied until we come out looking like Him."
We see the concept of one throughout the Bible. One God, one body, one faith, one baptism. Unity is essential.
I love the imagery of the carts in the temple. They have the same mold. Ours is Christ. He is our example. Then the same measure. We have been given the measure of faith. And one shape, we are being conformed to His image.
God takes ordinary things and makes them extraordinary! Press into Christ and allow the light of His countenance to mold you into His image.
Where else do you see this concept of one in the Bible? How can we be formed into the image of Christ?
