Being a Christian has advantages. The big one for me is the community that happens as Christians gather. "One another" life happens. We begin to care for one another, love one another, pray for one another, help one another and on the list goes. Community happens. Love is demonstrated. Life together happens. Caring for others becomes important. I can't imagine how hard it would be to live a solitary life without a community to care for you, but many do. Sadly, they are missing out on one of the great blessings of the body of Christ. As I near the last third of my life I find that the church family, the community of faith called Christians, is vital to me. I'm part of something bigger than myself, something that bridges centuries and goes forward into eternity. I'm part of a family I get to spend eternity with.
