Subject: define the family Pew Hebrews 10:24-25 |
Bible Note: As in any human family, the new Christian is to "grow up". Our baptism is symbolic of the death of our former self - we are in Christ a new creature. As a "babe in Christ" (I Cor. 3:1, I Peter 2:2), the new Christian, embraced in the bosom of the church, embarks on a life-long learning curve that affects every aspect of life. Hence the admonition to Christians: "... not forsaking the assembling of yourselves together" (Hebrews 10:25). Are we a supportive family? Are we honest in our worship? Do we accept broken people or keep them at arms distance? Do we recognize that everyone has something to contribute? We must look for ways to integrate new people into the fellowship. Too many churches are "closed" to newcomers. The doors are open but the people don't feel they are wanted at all.Continuing Encouragement After we come together, what do we do? Hebrews 10:25 suggests "exhorting one another." We need each other. Separation kills. Take a glowing coal from the fire and lay it aside from the rest of the coals, and it will grow cold. Take a budding branch from a tree and lay it aside, and it will dry up and die. Take a child of God from the family of God where he or she is sustained by the fellowship of the church, and he or she will grow spiritually dead. A coal can be tossed back into the fire and a branch can be grafted back into the tree, but only the dying Christian can put himself or herself back into the life-giving fellowship of God's church. These are several referencethat I found to "family pew. Though I find these word no where in scripture. |
