As a Maundy Thursday (celebration of the Last Supper) text, Ephesians 4:4-6 offers much in keeping with Jesus' emphasis on that evening of unity and brotherhood among his followers. It reminds us through the repetition of 'one' seven times followed by 'all' four times that God's will for his people is purposefully unified. God intended the followers of Jesus Christ to form one unit, to be connected, and given that one Spirit empowers them, one hope animates them, and one destiny awaits them, unity in the here and now gains becomes not only possible but ideal.
