The glory and power of the church rest upon the relationship between its members. But what kind of relationship? Is it merely bringing friendly smilies to greet one another every week? Or is it habitually meeting on the Lord’s Day? When we talk about relationship in the Lord, it is the relationship which the Lord redeemed by the shedding of His precious blood. Therefore, we should truthfully ask: ① Can this relationship withstand tests? Sometimes, when people live together, all kinds of conflicts and misunderstandings will arise. These will lead us to know one another deeper, or will they make us stay away from some brethren because of hurts? When conflicts arise, the relationship which can withstand test will choose to know deeper, instead of separating. ② Can this relationship make me grow in terms of loving God and people? Practically speaking, because of challenges in interpersonal relationships, we learn better how to adapt to brethren around us. In a church, there are those with stronger faith and those with weaker faith, there are brethren with different backgrounds, cultures, conditions. If we never try to understand or adapt to them, that implies that we are very selfish in our interaction with people, the way we judge people is very subjective, and our love for others also never grow at all. A church will not reach a point where everyone has the same level of faith, or everyone has the same view on every matter, thus to adapt to one another is an obvious display of love for one another. ③ Can this brethren relationship reach a point where brethren can co-work, serve, evangelise, shepherd together? When new groups of people appear, the dynamics of that existing relationship will change. This is just like when a couple gives birth to children, the couple time spent together, the initial convenience, or the common viewpoints shared all along, will all be threatened. If this is the case for a small family, a larger unit (church) will be even more so. Indeed, when we evangelise to new groups of people and shepherd the masses, this can only be achieved when 2 persons provide help to each other. If church brethren can complement and help one another in this, even to the effect of saving and healing others, then that relationship is not only close, but it also carries the power of the Holy Spirit. Of course, the above 3 points cannot be attained overnight. This is a relationship which can only be forged through learning, introspection and submission in the gospel. However, we must carry such an anticipation for the church which the Lord entrusted us to shepherd, and we should also challenge the church in this area. If we belong to a local church, we should always pray for the church in this way. How to pray? Not to demand from the church, but to practically go into the acts of unity. In the church, those with mature faith should bring about church unity through their existence. In today’s verses, we see that Paul’s greetings bring out the united relationship in a church, the existence of such relationship cannot be taken for granted, but there are certainly challenges to it. Let us receive inspiration and encouragement from the apostle’s greetings.
