ON ” COMMUNITY MATTERS”

Christoph Friedrich Blumhardt said: “Unless we have community in the body, in things material, we will never have it in spiritual matters. We are not mere spirits. We are human beings of flesh and blood. Every day we need to eat. We need clothing for every season. We must share our tools; we must work together; we must work communally and not each for himself. Otherwise we can never become one in the love of Christ, can never become the flock, the community of Jesus, which stands up in the world and says, “Now things must become quite different. Now individuals must stop living for themselves. Now a society of brothers and sisters must arise.”
