John 19: 25-27: "Meanwhile, standing near the cross of Jesus were his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing beside her, he said to his mother, ‘Woman, here is your son.’ 27Then he said to the disciple, ‘Here is your mother.’ And from that hour the disciple took her into his own home."
Here is the start of the church...the start of forgiving one another, serving one another, loving one another....practicing resurrection by choosing life-sustaining actions instead of divisive, destructive actions. This is what the church is: taking one another into our homes, seeing to one another's security and future.....living in community. And it all began here----at the foot of the cross.
