Not Ashamed (Week 35) Romans 15:1-13 “Communion”
Communion: (noun) The sharing or exchanging of intimate thoughts and feelings, especially
when the exchange is on a mental or spiritual level. (Websters Dictionary)
Therefore welcome one another, just as Christ also welcomed you to the glory of
God. Romans 15:7
In the Fifteenth Chapter of Romans, we are shown exactly how a healthy church, one being led
by The Spirit of God, is supposed to operate. The church of Rome was a multifaceted congregation
indeed. There were Jewish converts to Christianity, as well as, Gentile Believers that came from every
type of paganism imaginable. And what was The Spirit’s message to this diverse group? To function as
one, to be a single entity wherein each member was more concerned about his neighbor’s well being than
that of his own. This is agape love. It is a unity of purpose that can only come from The Holy Spirit. And
only a “Spirit-filled” church can operate in spiritual oneness. In fact, it was the very thing that Christ
prayed for on the night before He surrendered Himself to the cross.
I pray not only for these, but also for those who believe in Me through their word.
May they all be one, as you, Father, are in Me and I am in You. May they also be in
Us, so that the world may believe You sent Me. John 17:20-21
