After establishing a “new” Church, and giving them the teachings and ordinances of a “higher righteousness,” Jesus now commands the multitude to meet together often to teach and edify one another. They were to forbid none from coming and partaking of the blessings of the Church. We, like they, are under commandment to help influence all to come unto Christ through our prayers, our examples and our specific invitations to hear the gospel word. Failing to extend the hand of fellowship to our brothers and sisters-regardless of their differences from us-is antithetical to the spirit of the gospel of Jesus Christ and will repel the Spirit both institutionally and individually.
