From Him the whole body, joined together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work. Ephesians 4:16
No Christ-follower can stand alone. Christianity, while requiring an individual’s personal faith commitment, is not an individual faith by nature. Christianity is to be lived out in community not in isolation. Born out of the Father’s will, accomplished through Jesus’ death and resurrection, empowered and gifted by the Holy Spirit, each Christian has a role to play as part of the Body of Christ. “
Together, we rise above our own weaknesses and challenges to become all that God has called us to be. Together, we accomplish more than we could ever dream of on our own. Simply, we’re better together. Perhaps, if we pulled together a little harder—a little more often—we could become more of that shining “city on a hill”; the light that cannot be hidden; the light that Jesus said we were designed to be; the light that Jesus said in response to—people would sit up and take notice. It can happen. Together.
