Being a part of Christianity is “means community in and through Jesus Christ”. Bonhoeffer states that community in a genuine and deep way helps us work together and do the work of Jesus Christ. It is vital to the Christian Walk to be in community, it is actually seemingly impossible to function in a healthy way without community. The last few months I have seen the vitality of needing others to successfully see the fullness of walking with and in Jesus Christ. Trying to walk as a Christian alone without interaction with others is hard and discouraging. I have fought for years trying to recognize the ideology of what brotherhood/community in Jesus Christ really looked like, but I realized I was looking to create something that is actually the reality of something God himself created so that we may participate in Christ. My prayer recently is that I may find the reality functioning in the community God created in Christ so that I may have the same love and compassion for his people. I see that we need to work together to help carry each other’s burdens and being readily available and diligent to encourage one another continually.
