Church members matter.
They’re not ornaments
In an audience.
They should meet to be
Part of Christ’s body
Directed by Him,
Led by Gods Spirit,
Hearing what He says
And then doing it.
Let’s forget about self and comfort. Let’s focus instead on letting Christ live in and through us. Then instead of sitting through services we can let Him begin to fulfill the two greatest commandments from deep within us.
I hear Jesus commanding two attachments, not three in the two greatest commandments. An attachment to self is presumed by Jesus when He says, “Love your neighbor as yourself.” He’s assuming that you already love yourself, not commanding you to do so. In fact, In the Gospels Jesus tells you to deny yourself, not to love yourself. He wants you and me to surrender our attachment to self so He can replace it with supernatural attachment to God and to our neighbor in our inmost being. We can’t freely lay down our life if we are attached to it. However, detachment from yourself prepares the “narrow way” for the living Jesus to give you His powerful heart, soul, and mind attachment to God and to your neighbor.
