For some reason, when Christians think of the word Fellowship, we immediately think of food. Now I am not sure if Luke intended it this way in Acts(2:41-47), but we would like to offer a different perspective. The original Greek word used in the bible is Koinonia – which does translate into Fellowship. However, like all Greek words, it encompasses so much more than food. Sure, there is the element of communion and breaking bread – but it also encompasses the overarching ideals of true community – a place of joint participation, of sweat and tears, of pain and hardship, of joy and exhilaration, but most importantly – of sharing and intimacy.
What makes Christianity so different and so real is that at the heart of all that we believe is this Koinonia, this communion, this fellowship. In fact, God himself first invited us to communion, to share in this Koinonia with Him. No, our strength is not the fact that someone somewhere told us that our God is mighty and powerful – but rather it is that we, through this Koinonia, have experienced it to our core. It was then, through that relationship, the spirit of God began to Flow. And it and bred life. It opened our eyes and opened hearts to accept His truth. And ultimately it brought us to our knees wanting to share it with the rest of the world.
