This passage was not merely about Paul sending his greetings to the men and women of Christ whom has assisted him throughout his journey. He gives his heart to them because of their help and encouragement. When I read this passage, it reminded me of what my friend Joe Kim mentioned last Friday before Large Group began. He said that Cornerstone as a whole will not work out if its people did not encourage one another or be with one another. We have to be more open with one another and share with each other not only the good/bad of our days, but our spiritual lives as well. And with that encouragement and communication lead one another to growth under the Holy Spirit so that the congregation can grow as a whole and not just one person or a group of persons separately.
Because we are different parts of the body (lungs, heart, stomach, cells, etc.) that make up the entire body that is Cornerstone headed by Christ our Savior.
Amen.
