Jesus teaches; he prepares a table before us; he heals the many sick; and he raises up other shepherds among us to give us these very things from him and from his death and resurrection. With these actions God shepherds the scattered flock. If we are alone, simply hearing the word of Christ leads and restores us. In assembly, by the power of the Spirit, the word, the bread, and the peace of Jesus Christ again and again gather us into unity. We are made the house of the Lord, the dwelling-place of God. And we are sent to help lead others out of division, mutual hostility, and fear.
