It's a very interesting experience making podcasts, sitting with Ligonier's sound engineers

and my producer and helpful people making all the technical things work and the production

quality meeting the appropriate standards.

And then wondering if anyone is actually going to be listening when the podcast is here.

But if we are listening as Christians, it's really a heartwarming thing to remember

as we sometimes think that the same spirit of the Lord Jesus indwells every single one

of us.

We were thinking about that last week and it reminds us that we're bound together with

every other Christian even if we never meet each other.

And so we are indeed as Paul says one in the spirit.

And we experience that in remarkable ways.

Remember how Paul writes to the Corinthians that they are to do something when his spirit

is with them.

And he doesn't mean anything spooky, but he means that they're so bound together in

the one body by the Holy Spirit that he wants to share in what they're going to do.

And later on you remember in First Corinthians he says that when one member suffers the

whole body suffers because we're all indwelt in the same way by the same spirit.

Now what's the point here is this, we share in each other's lives in the fellowship

of Jesus Christ.

And the Lord is working in our lives to make us more like Christ.

We need to remember for all that unity that we share the Lord doesn't work in the

same way at the same time in every single one of us.
