Greet and Be Greeted
“Greet all God’s people in Christ Jesus” (Phil. 4:21)
As we come to Paul, the apostle of Christ’s, closing remarks, there is one thing all his goodbye’s have in common, they all mention personal companions and Jesus Christ.
Ephesians ends with these words: “Peace to the brothers and sisters, and love with faith from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ” (6:23)
Colossians closes 10 My fellow prisoner Aristarchus sends you his greetings, as does Mark, the cousin of Barnabas... 11 Jesus, who is called Justus, also sends greetings... 12 Epaphras, who is one of you and a servant of Christ Jesus, sends greetings... 14 Our dear friend Luke, the doctor, and Demas send greetings (4:10-14);
Philemon windups by saying “23 Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends you greetings. 24 So do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas & Luke, my fellow workers” (Philemon 1:23-24);
Colossians concludes with these remarks, “21 Greet all God’s people in Christ Jesus. The brothers and sisters who are with me send greetings. 22 All God’s people here send you greetings, especially those who belong to Caesar’s household” (Col. 4:21-22).
Greetings and saying goodbyes are all an important functions in Paul’s letter’s and so should they be in our ministry’s. I know of churches that intentionally greet honored guests (visitors) before they even enter the church building. Their greeter’s stand in front of the church serve coffee, greet guests and members in the parking lot and they even escort them into the building. All this before they sit down. My point, that having an intentional welcoming ministry sure makes people feel good and we as good vessels on earth should do the same. Amen!
Let us remember, that when we gather weekly, it is because of Jesus, that we need to be more inviting.
This week our Sermon Series end: “Greet and Be Greeted” (Philippians 4:21-23). We are located at 276 W. Santa Paula Street, (across from the cemetery). Our Sunday morning worship begins at 9:00 a.m. in Spanish and 10:45 a.m. in English.
