Day # 5 Devotion: Today, whether your home church consists of a stadium full of people or a handful of people, the context for fulfilling the “one anothers” of Scripture is likely to be a small-group, a class, or home-based gathering. In such a setting, you can rub shoulders with all kinds of people—those who are like you and those who are not. That’s a great place to learn how to obey God’s commands to love one another, accept one another, bear patiently with one another, and forgive one another. Trying to fulfill the “one anothers” of Scripture without a smallgroup community can be much like taking a test without first reading the instructions. You may avoid a little effort at the beginning and even get some things right, but you probably won’t grasp and reflect the full purpose of the process. You will miss out. And you will be far less prepared for the next test when it comes. Challenge: Perform one act of service by writing an encouraging note or making a call to a friend you know is going through a difficult time.
