Fellowship without alcohol

MARJORIE ANN PARKINSON

During the Christmas season we naturally think in terms of fellowship. Why not, since Christmas commemorates the birth of Christ Jesus, who gave us the standard for true fellowship. Such fellowship fulfills the law of divine Love.

Fulfilling this law of God is doing to others as we would have others do to us. Jesus lived this concept of fellowship to the utmost. Using no other remedy than the power of the one God, he healed the brokenhearted and those bruised by sickness and sin.

John perceived God as the source of true fellowship. In his First Epistle he wrote, "Truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ." Referring to God, he said, "If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth." I John 1:3, 6; By letting God, the one universal divine Mind, govern our every thought and action, we have "fellowship with him" and are governed intelligently in our dealings with others.
