In Jesus’ teaching, we find valuable guidelines for how we ought to live in community with one another. The way of Jesus is the way of surrender, unity, forgiveness, and welcome.
We will never be successful living in community unless we surrender everything to Jesus, “taking up our cross” to follow him.
Christian unity means staying together as one body in spite of our differences.
Radical forgiveness takes community to the next level.
We must welcome everyone Jesus invites into community with us, regardless of whether or not we think they are worthy of it.
