Explanation:
Mr. Lincoln once remarked to a fellow-passenger that all men were triggered by selfishness in doing good. The fellow-passenger was antagonizing this position when they passed over a corduroy bridge which spanned a slough. As they were crossing this bridge, they saw an old sow on the bank which was making a terrible noise because her pigs got into the slough and could drown.
As the old coach was climbing the hill, Mr. Lincoln said “Driver, can’t you stop just a moment?” Mr. Lincoln then jumped out, ran back and then lifted the little pigs out of the mud they were in and placed them on the bank. His companion remarked when he returned that "where does selfishness come in what he just did?
Mr Lincoln said that "he whould have had no peace of mind if he had left that the suffering old sow to be worried about her pigs and helping her was because he wanted peace of mind which was selfishness.
The Anabaptist or Re-baptist regard the christian church as a convenient community. The corporate worship, mutual aid, fellowship and mutual accountability characterizes this community. They viewed Christ-centered community as the center of life.
In today's world, Christians with Anabaptist perspective understand and practice Christian-centered community in three distinct ways :
1. Forgiveness is essential for community.
2. Scriptures are interpreted in community or we can say dialogue and group discernment as necessary for interpretation of scriptures.
3. Small face-face groups are central to the life of Church.
Believing in Jesus, belonging to church and behaving in a new way become real in the context of community.
