there was once a community once that was beautiful and founded on God.  one day, they were struck with a source of disunity.  suddenly, rumors were flying between one party and the other.  the community that was once firmly united, was torn apart.

one day, an old wise nun came to stay at one of their homes.  she stayed for a short time, and began to see their brokenness.  she told her host, "i see the pain in your community.  i can't tell you who it is, but there is one person who is your messiah.  one person whom you have been waiting for to bring healing and peace."

so the host called a meeting between the feuding parties and invited the nun to speak to them.  as the host relayed her message, all eyes came to focus on the nun, waiting for her to speak.

she turned to one man and said, "you are our messiah.  the one we have been waiting for to bring healing and peace."  then she turned to another, "you are our messiah.  the one we have been waiting for to bring healing and peace."  and so she went around the room saying the same words to all present.

her message was this.  if we all saw Jesus in each other we would treat Him with love and respect.  and if we all became Jesus to one another, we would treat others with love and respect as well.

and so peace and unity returned to their community.
