What an amazing couple of days. This week I had the privilege of observing Gospel community lived out on a seminary campus. I have always had an imagination of what Gospel community looked like but never thought I would truly see it. I observed a community of believers living the truth of the Gospel. Their lives so revealed the truth of Christ that the entire community obeys the commandments (Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength and love your neighbor as yourself). Selfish living did not exist in this Gospel community. It was not “what mine is mine and what yours in yours” but rather “If you need a coat, here take mine” or “I don’t need the Government to take care of me, I have my neighbors.”
I asked myself would I go over to my neighbor’s house and ask to borrow a cup of sugar or even care that an elderly neighbor needed a meal cooked. I still don’t get it!
Thanks to some of our deepest friends for allowing us to peak into this Gospel community and may this experience fracture my defenses of living for my self.
