The first thing that Jesus did in his ministry was to form a community. Twelve disciples, and many, many more who learned from him, lived with him, supported him and followed him.
The first thing the disciples did after Jesus’ crucifixion was gather as a community. The first thing those same disciples did after Jesus’ resurrection and then again after the coming of the Spirit on Pentecost was gather as a community. And the first thing that happened as the disciples began to preach the Good News was that people started gathering as communities. That’s what we read about in Acts: “All who believed were together and had all things in common; they`d sell their possessions and distribute the proceeds to all who had need. They spent much time together worshipping and breaking bread, eating with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having the goodwill of all people.”
This is what faith looks like: Community. Community is at the centre of being Christian. To be a follower of the Way of Jesus is to be part of a community.
