Koinonia means community, fellowship, or a sharing of life together. Jesus establishes a radical community that continues God’s desire for relationship with the creation and with the people of Israel (and ultimately, all the people of the world). This community is especially defined by caring for those who are distressed, an intense trust in God for all things, and an openness to anyone, even the people that seem least likely or least deserving. All this is made possible through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. He opens to door to community with God the Father and invites us all into a place to belong.
