Divinely Designed Community

We are designed for community.
 
We are created in God’s own image—The Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, three in oneCreated to be community as God is community.  Community, communion, with each other and with God. 

Why? 

Love.  Love draws near and draws out.  Love invites, engages, includes, expands.

In that expansion, that growth, love moves from intention to action.

We are not only ourselves, but cells that form a body.  The Body.  God, Jesus, Spirit as brain, directing each cell through love, with love.  Love for each cell and love for the ones each cell touches.  Hands, feet, mouths, hearts, minds, ears, eyes, touched by Him, touch the world.   

Why?

…that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you.  May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.   I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one—I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity.  (John 17:21,22)

Why?

Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.  (John 17:23)

Be Jesus’ cell of love in your world.  Invite.  Engage.  Include.  Expand.

Love.
