In a Peanuts cartoon created by Charles Schultz, Lucy demands that Linus change TV channels and then threatens him with her fist if he doesn't.
"What makes you think you can walk right in here and take ever?"
"These five fingers," says Lucy. "Individually they're nothing but when I curl them together like this into a single unit, they form a weapon that is terrible to behold."
"Which channel do you want?" asks Linus.
Linus looks at his fingers and says, "Why can't you guys get organized like that?"
Weak things united become strong. Jesus took two weak and warring peoples, the Jews and the Gentiles, and brought them together to create a holy nation, the church, whose holy creed is love. Because of this unity based on love, Christianity became a powerful force in the ancient world and changed the course of history.
-- Lenya Heitzig and Penny Pierce Rose in Pathway to God's Treasure: Ephesians
