The Church: “Life Together”
Sunday Nov 29, 2020
Sunday Nov 29, 2020
As the title hints, this comes out of Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s famous book, Life Together, regarding “the communion of saints,” as referenced in the Apostles’ Creed: “I believe in the communion of saints…” Jesus is born in a time of conflict. Herod soon enough plots to destroy any would-be challengers. Jesus lives out his ministry “in the midst of foes,” as Bonhoeffer states. Christians are scattered in the midst of foes. And yet, “the physical presence of other Christians is a source of comparable joy and strength to the believer” (17). This message sets the tone for the entire Advent Season: how shall we be together in a pandemic, what shall we learn (pay attention to), and what shall we reflect upon? The church is the Body of Christ. When it is gathered, Christ is more than present.
