Fellowship With Us

“That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched- this we proclaim concerning the Word of life.  The life appeared; we have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and has appeared to us. We proclaim what we have seen and heard, so that you may have fellowship with us.  And our fellowship is with the Father and with his son, Jesus Christ.” I John 1:1-3

 

“So that you might have fellowship with us…”  Human beings are not created to live solitary lives.  We were created for fellowship.  Just ask the shut-in. They will tell you, being alone all the time is lonely, depressing, boring and dull.  Being a part of something bigger than ourselves, feeling loved and accepted are major needs of any human.

When the church fails to evangelize, to tell people the good news, and bring them into fellowship with us, we open the door for problems.  Why do gangs have so many members?  People crave fellowship.  Why are occults booming? Because they are reaching out to people and meeting a real need.  We, as Christians, have to do at least as good a job as gangs and occults.  Something to think about…

Sweet fellowship with the Father and his son, Jesus Christ.  There is nothing in life more fulfilling than enjoying that acceptance and closeness.  It is such a privilege and honor to fellowship with the Lord and to invite others to join us.  Ask the Lord today who you know that could use fellowship.

Thank you, Lord, for your Word.  Thank you for your friendship and the opportunity to fellowship with you and those of like precious faith.  In Jesus’ Name.  Amen.
