One good thing about the beginning of the new term is that it's sooooo good to see everyone again! I've missed just hanging out with Christian brothers and sisters, and even though I can be a solitary person at times, I was once again struck by how much I had missed everyone, and how the Christian family really IS a family. We need each other for encouragement, accountability, fellowship, rebuke, loving concern, support etc.etc.
We are actually commanded biblically to hang out with each other, e.g. as seen in our first bible study passage of the year: Hebrews 10:19-25.
Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
Yay! I hope that you're meeting up and encouraging each other!! You never know who might need YOU at this very moment.
