Collective Soul

What is amazing about fellowship is that it gets better and better with more people. Individuals bring what small fragments of God’s faint scent into light. As it is added more and more, we are soon completely smothered in His love, together as one.

 

The Old Testament spotlights individuals often: a man and the relationship with God. Soon, however, we are led to the New Testament, which gently hides the great beauty of fellowship. Peter? Paul? Were they not individuals only traveling with a couple of people? Sure, but they were messengers. It is because of the mountainous mass of Christians that held base the lines written in the scripture that these men were taken to heart. It is so easy to lose sight of the churches that held on together, praying desperately for one another and for the coming of Jesus.

 

I, too, acknowledge the importance of one on one relationship with God that no one else can dive into. Maybe it is the majority of a Christian life, but it will never be completely unless you are held together, hand to hand, with fellow Christians.
