This is about community
Saturday
September 13th, Matthew 18: 19 "Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything
you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. 20 For where two or three come
together in my name, there am I with them." This is not about individual Christianity, me and God, kind of stuff. This is about community, prayer partners and
getting together with others because each of us has the capacity to go astray
if left alone. When we gather, Jesus is
there. That does not mean that every
gathering listens to Christ, but at least the possibility is there. And there is no greater way to build
community than to pray together with Christ.
When we are in sync with Jesus vision for the world where there is peace
and justice for all, God gives us the insight to see how we can help bring this
about. When we are not in sync with
God’s vision of Peace and justice for all in this world, we end up with
political comments regarding hurricanes and earth quakes being God’s vengeance on
sinners. When that happens, know that
the speaker understands neither God nor Science.
