Matthew 18:18-20 (The Message)

18-20"Take this most seriously: A yes on earth is yes in heaven; a no on earth is no in heaven. What you say to one another is eternal. I mean this. When two of you get together on anything at all on earth and make a prayer of it, my Father in heaven goes into action.

And when two or three of you are together because of me, you can be sure that I'll be there."

Brian, Greg, Winston and I met up for lunch today. It was a good time of eating, sharing, and dodging bird droppings. Brian brought a bottle of juice, rice crackers, and some cups, and we had communion right outside union house (comm-union house?). It was incredibly thoughtful of him, and I do miss having communion as well. Later on, we took some time and prayed, and after we were done, a lady who had been sitting next to us the whole time came up to us and essentially said,

"Are you guys christians? Make sure you keep in contact with each other, even after you finish uni, because the friends that you pray with during your time in uni will be the strongest group you'll ever find. Even if you meet other christian friends after you graduate, life will still be much harder without each other."

It's funny how easy it is to forget that, in the midst of a crazy machine driven world, there are still agents of a different Kingdom placed around you.


Thank you for the encouragement.



Blessings,
Chris.
