We are to commit ourselves to the common work we have taken on, to the journey we are making together, to the recognition that every individual matters, but that it as a part of the ecclesia—the gathering of Christ followers—that we are the people God calls us to be. This is how we are supposed to live together. We need one another. I can’t be me without you. And when we live in this way, Christ is with us, in the midst of us.
