There is a great need to be with God’s people, whenever we are able. For God wants us to be together.

The pure disciples bound in faith, love, and unwritten word. Bound by a mighty spiritual bond, by divine love and teaching, as our Lord and king of kings taught us: "take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." (Matthew 11:29).

His divine teachings has established the guidelines and the heavenly guidance for life, which is more precious than gold. He gave us a perfect, living model to follow and travel into his footsteps. They too, handed down these holy patterns of life to their disciples of the next generations; they passed it to humanity through living examples, and spiritual excellence.

In fact we are able to see in the saints the high manifestation of the Christian virtues as in their sayings and works, also through their successful life.

Those saints have made the wisdom and teaching of God known to everyone.

As we get closer to follow in their tracks and learn from their spiritual excellent deeds which they passed, and left their marks deep on the road to righteousness. We find how they have demonstrated to the world their unique qualities.

For those saints are urging every one of us today to take heed of their sayings and works, as if they tell us (To get with it today).

And this would be made possible only through the faith and confidence in our redeemer and Saviour the Lord Jesus Christ, for He himself has made the eternal example for all humanity to follow.
