2 Timothy 4:9-11 Do your diligence to come shortly to me:… Man is a social being. He is made to feel for, and with, his fellow-men. Sociality is a joy, a strength, a light to him. He is revealed, regaled, renewed, by fellowship. When there is community of views, sympathy of feelings, it causes a wonderful development of his nature, and gives it wonderful power. It is a lamp, a feast, a buttress of his being. It is everything whereby he can be ministered unto, or help to minister. God is social: "The God of the spirits of all flesh." Christ is social: "The Head of the body, the Church." Christianity is social: "The fellowship of the gospel." Man is social: "Come shortly unto Me." (A. J. Morris.)
