There's one thing that we have in common

In closing. There was a man and a woman, husband and wife, was separating. And they tried to make up. They went to psychiatrists, to find out if he could draw their minds together, but he couldn’t. They went to everything that they could think of, to try to stay together, but they just fussed, and continually they were divided. And they just couldn’t stand each other, and couldn’t stand in each other’s presence, and they go to fussing. So, they decided they would divorce. So, they hired a lawyer, to give them a divorce. And he said, “Well, now, before we do it,” said, “we’ll sell the place.” And said, “You all better go down and divide the spoils between you before you get the divorce and the place is sold.” So, the husband and wife went together. They went to the home. And they went into the living room, and she said, “I’m going to take this.” And he said, “I’m going to take this.” And they fussed, and they stewed and carried on, one another. After while, they’d say, “Well, I’ll give you this if you’ll take this.” All right, that went on a while. Then they went into the parlor and different places, and into the kitchen, and into the bedroom. They divided their spoils. Then finally they remembered there was some stuff in the attic. So they went up into the attic and they pulled out an old trunk. And they begin to lay out different things, say, “You can have this, and you can have this.” And finally both of their eyes fell on a certain little object, and they both grabbed for it. And they looked at each other. What was it? A pair of little white shoes that belonged to a baby that had deceased. It was part of both of them. There, with their hands clasped like that, over this baby’s shoe. Really, who did it belong to? Whose was it? It belonged to both of them. They had things in common. In a few minutes, as one looked to the other, tears begin to run down their cheeks. What was it? They could divide everything else, but when they come till they had something in common, the child, and it was in heaven, then the fuss was over. In a few minutes, they were in each other’s arms. The divorce was settled. Peace reigned. And, brethren, let me say this to you tonight. We’re not wanting you to join a church. But I’m asking you this. There’s one thing that we have in common, that’s Jesus Christ. He is in common with us. We can’t all be Baptists. We can’t all be Methodists. We can’t all be Oneness, or Threeness, or whatever it is. We can’t be that. But there’s one thing we have in common, that’s the pardoning offer of God, His Son, Jesus Christ. We have all things in Him. But that’s the first thing for us to accept. Then we can get other things, when we accept the pardon that God has offered us. And that won’t be through our educational system, through our denominational system, but will be through the Blood of Jesus Christ. We all can meet there under the cross, and be one and have things in common. You believe that? [Congregation says, “Amen.”_Ed.] Let us bow our heads just a moment while we pray.
