This week in class we walked about how a group functions. The early church has many examples of groups functioning well together. As a team that is going out to serve God it is important that we look at these examples of how to be a Christ-like team. A passage I really like that speaks about unity in the body of Christ is Colossians 3.
Colossians 3 really speaks about unity in the body of Christ saying in verse 11 that “Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.” It also talks about being Christ like in your relationships with each other and also displaying the fruits of the Spirit in your relationships. It also says to forgive one another. The underlining message of this passage is to do everything in love, everyone of these virtues lacks value without love. The end of the chapter really focuses on just obeying those who have authority over you. But it also says that leaders shouldn’t abuse the authority they have.
As a team I think we will really need to make sure that we are displaying kindness, compassion, humility, gentleness, and patience towards one another and also forgiving each other, and doing all these in love.
