MESSAGE RECAP
Appreciating someone - showing them value - begins with a greeting. Paul knew this. While he could not meet face to face with the church at Rome, in Romans 16 he encourages the church to greet several people on his behalf. He does this to show value and appreciation for who they are and their work in the gospel. Paul realizes the importance of unity within the church. He tells them to greet one another IN CHRIST. They are brothers and sisters. They are equally loved by God so why should it be different between them. They are all children of God with divine and eternal status.

REFLECTION QUESTIONS:
- Do I greet people knowing they are created in the image of God and loved by Him?
- What walls exist between me and another person that need to be torn down?
- Who in my life do I struggle to greet showing them value and respect?
