How did Paul deal with the factions? He brought them back to Christ. He asks a question: "Is Christ divided?" (Sometimes a key question can unlock situations.)
Recognise that we are one in Christ.
Christ is not split. He is the centre of all things
Lesslie Newbigin had a great phrase that sums it up: "Christ is the clue to the whole creation."
Jesus is the one that unlocks the whole creation. It is in him that everything has meaning.
Apparently, helicopters have one single nut that holds the rotors to the craft and holds the whole thing together. If that nut fails the helicopter fails. That nut is called the Jesus nut. The Jesus nut holds the whole thing together.
In Jesus the whole thing holds together. In Jesus is the whole meaning of creation.
