If you’ve been following this series, you’ll know that I, along with a small group of autistic peers, have been reflecting on how we can best love and serve our church family. To guide us, we’ve been looking at the “one another” commands found in the Bible.
Several of these commands focus on how we communicate with each other. In Colossians 3v16 we are told, “Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom” (NIV), or as the NLT puts it, “teach and counsel each other". We are also instructed to “build each other up” (1 Thessalonians 5v11) and to “encourage one another daily” (Hebrews 3v13).
Teaching, admonishing, building one another up, encouraging daily… that sounds like a lot of conversations with your Christian friends!
