One as Good as Another?

Two men were talking about the relative merits of the automobiles they had just purchased. With good humor, each was giving reasons why he thought his car was better than the other. A mutual friend happened by, and they tried to enlist him in their friendly argument. “Which car would you rather have?” they asked. Not wanting to be drawn into the dispute, he merely said, “Oh, I don’t know. I suppose one is as good as the other.”

“One as good as another?” Maybe, regarding some things, but certainly not all things. Is one husband or wife as good as another? Is one house as good as another, or is one food as good as another?

The Bible teaches that Jesus built His one church, purchasing it with His own precious blood (Acts 20:28). That is the church about which we need to be concerned. One is added to this church as he expresses his love for Jesus and obeys His commands. Where are you, in the Lord’s church, or in some other?
