COMMUNITY OF CHRIST

All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, and to fellowship, and to sharing in meals (including the Lord’s Supper) and to prayer.

-Acts 2:42 (NLT)

CALLED TO FELLOWSHIP

When Christ died on the cross

He gave his Spirit so we can never be lost

He called us to come together as a family

And teach one another the truth that will set us free.

He asks us to be in fellowship with each other

And share in meals including the Last Supper

He summons us to pray for the world

And be constantly fed and guided by his word.

Before I became an authentic Christian, I participated in so many church activities for the sake of religion and wanting to appear spiritual. I participated in them as part of church traditions.  These meetings and socials happened in the church premises but are no different from any other happening outside the church. The bible wasn’t read or even talked about. It seemed more like a club or gathering of people who wants to do things for the church.

The bible tells us in Acts 2:42 that believers form the community of Christ. We are asked to learn from God’s truth, fellowship, share meals and pray together.

PRAYER

Lord, help us to grow in faith and truth and be in fellowship with other believers.

REFLECTION

Why do you think we are summoned to be in fellowship other Christians?
