Recording the events in the first church, Dr. Luke tells us that all who believed were together and had all things in common (Acts 2:44). Many of these were from out of town and perhaps were strangers to one another… before meeting Christ (Acts 2:5-11). This is one of the numerous things that make the church so unique from every other association, club or social structure. The common bond between the saints is our bond to Christ. And although it would be preferable that we all be together, the fact remains, we are one in Christ.
Whether at home or at the church facilities, let’s be eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace (Ephesians 4:1-3) by setting our sights on Christ in worship and in all of life.
Take some time this morning (if not every morning) to pause in worship through the God’s revealed Word, take your brothers and sisters before the Lord in prayer, and then perhaps give one or two of them a call, just to say hi and to make contact.
