Wow. Back in the early days of like apostle paul and his bro's , they were just so fun to be around. I mean like, when the believers all shared their possessions and everyone became a big family, rich or poor, everyone becomes homies and brothas in Christ. The poor and rich collided, they they broke bread, praised God, loved each other, do crazy things like heal the sick, like i mean, it was pretty wack back then. It was a whole new way of life, no wonder the early church was called the Way. Greek or Jewish, Philip preached to all, breaking the ethnic barriers, regardless of who or what you are, your always accept by the blood of Jesus. Like how Jesus hanged out with the prostitutes and the lepers, these guys schooled the Romans, dared to help the poor like beautfiul, and dared to go against traditions. I was reading this book, called The Irresistible Revolution, and this guy, Shane Claiborne ( one dangerous dude ) he shared this thing called radical interdependence. The reality of this divine multication is realized only when we depend on one another and God. He caught a glimpse of this concept in Calcuttu, and found it again in his neighborhood. Kensington, Pa, one of the poorest districts in Pennsylvania. From the streets either being piled with trash, or the walls covered with graffiti, it was a pretty neglected neighborhood. Yet, this neglection was a perfect scenario to organize themselves. Sometimes when the city refuse to plow their streets, they would just get out and have snowball fights and shovel their streets together. Or when trash piled up, it was a darn good excuse to have a block party, clean up the trash, open up the fire hydrant to play, and play in the water. A family whom owns a mini mart in the town, over the years Shane and the family became inseparable. Their kids would come over his house for homework, or do theater camp, or have all sorts of fun. Then Shane would rehab their house, and sometimes they taught each other things such as Spanish. Often times they needed transportation to restock the store or pick up the kids. So Shane and his crew found that he could insure them under their policy. They shared cars with each other all priceless like they were just one big family . They were neither Good Samaritans, nor were they an efficient nonprofit provider, better yet, they were a family, and money lost it's revalance. So many times scenarios where one person has a plumber but doesn't have a construction man, and another dude needs a plumber and has a construction man. It's not the matter of money, but it's the matter if we unite and became one in Christ and in each other of the body of Christ. I remember i heard somewhere that one horse could carry like 200lbs or something, but two horses can carry like 1200lbs, now that's something. Jesus didn't call us to be in our own Christian bubble , but He called us just to be a family with one another, loving each other as if we were all bros. By doing that, it just seems to make sense. Like Shane, money was no longer an issue, the town was no longer a ghetto but a community. Christianity no longer focused on us, but it focused on Jesus and one another. Things work out much better when we do them, together, regardless of one's the president of north Korea and the other one anti-war protester, it just all seems to make sense, together.
