Belong to Something Bigger than Yourself
“Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another – all the more as you see the day approaching.”
-Hebrews 10:25
We are not called to be single, solitary Christians operating on our own. We are called together to be a part of something that is bigger than ourselves. We are called to be a part of the church. Too many times people claim that they can follow Christ on their own. They don’t need the church. They don’t need fellow believers. They embrace a “Jesus and me” approach and they attempt to be a disciple of Christ completely on their own. It doesn't work. Jesus never intended for us to go it alone.
Jesus has given all believers a mission. That mission is to go into all the world and share the love of Jesus with everyone who will receive his message. We are to transform lives and
ultimately the entire world by spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This cannot be accomplished by each of us operating as a lone ranger. We need one another. We are called into the church, the Body of Christ, so that we can fulfill the mission of Christ. As we join with others to fulfill the mission of Christ we become a part of something that is much bigger than ourselves.
That is why we are called into a family called the church. We need each other so that we can accomplish the mission that Christ has given us.
