The enemy—a swindler from the beginning—has a plan: Isolate us. He won’t advertise it that way. Isolation never seems to be the goal, but it’s always the end result. And then there’s Jesus, who “is before all things, and in him all things hold together,” Paul writes in Colossians 1:17. God’s plan is for things to come together, under his authority. Real life leads us toward each other, not away.
