Koinonia Key

"Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments.... for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life for evermore" (Psalm 133:1-3). "That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship (Greek, koinonia) with us: and truly our fellowship (koinonia) is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ" (1 John 1:3).


Good and pleasant fellowship:
How illusive it can be!
Hold it fast; don't let it slip,
Remembering the key.

The key to fellowship that's sweet
Is where we fix our eyes:
It's not the building where we meet.
It's not what money buys.

It's like the oil on the head
Of Aaron, once anointed.
But now we see our Lord instead,
And we're not disappointed!

Let us therefore summarize
This koinonia key:
The place where we must fix our eyes
Is NOT on you or me.

Let's keep our eyes on Jesus Christ,
Our mutual Reward,
Our Priest, our Lamb once sacrificed,
Our Savior, and our Lord.
