10/17/20 THE ONE ANOTHER’S IN THE NT #10 — Romans 16:16 (CSB) Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ send you greetings.

The MacArthur Study Bible says, “Kissing of friends on the forehead, cheek, or beard was common in the OT. The Jews in the NT church carried on the practice, and it became especially precious to new believers, who were often outcasts from their own families because of their faith, because of the spiritual kinship it signified.”

Perhaps, one of these days, when memories of Covid-19 are faint, WE can touch one another and greet one another with physical affection once more. Until then, let’s make sure that we genuinely, warmly greet everyone who attends our church services and events, whether they’re members or not, whether we know them or not!
