Saturday’s focus is on fellowship, just let me tell you how I have spent my Saturday.
I went to visit an elderly couple around the age of 90, they are both baptised believers.
It is great for a young person to meet up with older Christians who have already trodden the paths of life. They can give us guidance. If we are always spending time with other young people, whether Christian or not, we will not be getting that valuable knowledge that has been passed on from generation to generation. We don’t want to have to always be reinventing the wheel all the time.
The conversation was lovely, it wasn’t full on Biblical debate, no heated discussions... that’s not what fellowship is about. What I think fellowship is about is focussing on what you agree on, which is how great our Saviour is, and what He has done for our poor souls. There is a place for theological discussions, but it should never take the place of real sweet fellowship.
Fellowship doesn’t have to necessarily be talking about Jesus all the time. You can start by talking about something general, perhaps the weather, or you can ask them how they have been since you last saw them. And if both you and the people you are fellowshipping with are real Christians washed in the Redeemer’s blood, without doubt the conversation will always come back to how good the Lord has been to us!
If you love God, you will want to talk about Him all of the time!
