Greet One Another
TOPIC
The New Testament has nearly 60 “one another” commands for Christians so we can relate to others and grow in our faith.
FROM THE MESSAGE
“So today, we start with one of the most basic one anothers: Greet one another. “Greet one another with a holy kiss” is found five times in the New Testament. Let’s get the awkward part out of the way: The kiss isn’t a thing anymore. At the time, it was common to say hello with a kiss, specifically to family members, close friends, or as a sign of respect for someone. Some cultures today still say hello with a peck on the cheek, but it’s not an appropriate action in our time and place.
Actually, after the first century, the kiss part started getting out of hand and church leaders made rules that men would only kiss men and women would only kiss women.The point was not the kiss, the point was the kindness behind the greeting. If you’re saying hello to someone with a kiss, that means you’re actually connecting with that person. You’re sharing a moment together – even if very brief – that is close and respectful and tender. A greeting that acknowledges our familial connection.”
