It stresses how individual burdens become mutual burdens through proper fellowship of Christians. In the first fellowship you see a price being paid for the comfort of others. Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows. And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort.
Real worship is where lives are wrapped up in one another.
After all God has wrapped his existence up in ours. So much so that he laid down his life for ours. This fellowship of sharing far surpasses mere church attendance, observance of ritual or the need for momentary excitement. It surpasses the excitement of creative exhibition. The first worship involved a community of believers.
