What are some of the things that help create healthy community? As we look at Jesus and the communities that he created around himself we see some common themes that we would be wise to take and replicate in our own communities. Four things that Jesus did to help create healthy communities are...

1.) Jesus was always inclusive, never exclusive. Jesus accepted everyone.

2.) Jesus always showed grace.

3.) Jesus lived life together with his closest community.

4.) Jesus shared successes and failures with his closest community so they could learn and love one another.
