Family Tie

Sebenernya ga sedikit gereja yg menjelek²an gereja lain, tidak sedikit anggota gereja yang menjatuhkan anggota lainnya, tidak sedikit permainan kekuasaan terjadi di gereja, ada banyak orang yang berlomba² membuat 'entertainment' di gereja hanyalah untuk dipamerkan kepada gereja² lain. Ada orang² di gereja yang pelayanan hanya untuk memperlihatkan skill mereka kepada orang² lainnya. Sebenarnya, di manakah mereka tempatkan Tuhan?

Padahal seharusnya, sebagai orang percaya kita saling mengasihi satu sama lain karena sebenarnya Tuhan telah wafat di kayu salib untuk kita semua. Sebagai orang percaya harusnya kita sadar, kalau kita harus bersatu. As we draw near to Christ we are drawn near to each other.

Ephesians 2:11-22,

17He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near. 18For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.

19Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God's people and members of God's household, 20built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. 21In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. 22And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.

Ephesians bilang kalau kita ada member dari rumah Tuhan yang dibangun di atas fondasi yang menjadikan Jesus sendiri sebagai batu fondasi utama, so... we as blood-bought believers should recognize that we have a strong family tie in Christ.
