If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. (Philippians 2:1-4)
The fellowship of fellow servants. The Body of Christ serving each other and those who are not in Christ out of Love. Love for each other, love for our Lord, and love for the Lost. What a picture GOD has designed. The body works together each part as designed serving the needs of the whole; so it is with the Body of Christ. With Jesus our Head, the Body (The Church) each person fit where GOD has placed them; to serve the mission of the Church: that is, reach the lost and build one another up in the knowledge of our Lord. As our mission statement at my congregation has it: Engage and Enable People to Enjoy Jesus Christ. That sums it up nicely.
Are you part of the Body? Are you serving where GOD has put you? Are you joyfully looking to the needs of others around you? Are you reaching and teaching GOD's Word that those that don't know Christ might be saved? Are you, in fact lost and in need of Jesus as your Saviour?
GOD calls all who are away from Him back into a right relationship with Him through repentance and reconciliation. If you don't know Jesus, He wants you to receive Him and be born again. If you are a child of GOD, but out of fellowship, He wants you to come back to Him.
Whatever GOD is calling you to do, observe to do it today that you might also engage and enable people to enjoy Jesus Christ.
In Christ,
