Understanding Fellowship: Jesus’ Approach to the Pharisees

This exploration delves into the contrasting behaviors of Jesus with Nicodemus, a Pharisee, and the broader group of Pharisees. While Jesus embraced individual connections, he distanced himself from the organization, emphasizing the importance of genuine fellowship over rigid rules. Drawing upon Romans 15:1-5 and Romans 16:17-18, we examine the practices of bearing the weak, fostering unity, and building up one another in faith. Ultimately, fellowship emerges as a essential weighting tool influenced by God’s mercy, inspiring worship, communion, and prayer.
