Cinnamon Rolls: A Reflection of Christian Community

Hello Everyone! Yes! You read the title exactly. Cinnamon rolls represent a model for Christian community. If you were not sure of that before last week's IV, I sure hope you are now...James certainly hopes you are convinced. Not to mention that the craving for a cinnamon roll grew so much during large group we all had to go get one afterwards - haha. In all seriousness, the illustration of baking is great. Each ingredient plays a big part in making the roll into a cinnamon roll. And we all are the ingredients in God's kingdom - making up a sweet aroma to represent Christ and his community, the church. InterVarsity is a small representation of this at UNM. It's not always easy, but as we work at it, applying Colossians 3 to our lives, and walking through trials together, we will gel, and grow...maybe even into a sweet roll with Jesus as the icing. However you want to view it, God is the master baker, the great physician etc., God is the leader of us all. How we grow in Christian love for one another is up to us and the choices we make daily towards each other. It is answering "Yes" to the little things God asks of us that will build into one well baked IV group.
