As believers we have been called into a unique community of fellowship called the church. We have the privilege of teaching one another in the process called discipleship. I have been blessed by a book by Bill Hull called The Complete Book of Discipleship in which he says:
The genius of submission in a discipleship relationship is that it’s a two-way street. No one is master. Both are servants of Jesus and both benefit greatly from the relationship.
It reminds me of Ephesians 5:21 which says, “Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.†I don’t know if you are feeling qualified to speak into the lives of your Christian brothers and sisters but the Bible teaches that you are uniquely qualified to do so because of your relationship to the Father through Jesus.
Our Christian lives should have the beautiful quality of giving and receiving. I think this is what we are aiming for in our cell groups and interaction on Sunday. We belong together because of Jesus.
