Eccles. 4:9-12
1. Why should we do things with others?
Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work. If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!
Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone?
Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
Luke 9:12-17; 10:1; 22:7-8
2. How did Jesus practise teamwork?
Despite impossibility of feeding the 5 thousand men with only 5 loaves of bread and 2 fishes, Jesus said to his disciples, "Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each." Then taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke them. Then he gave them to the disciples to set before the people. They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.
Jesus in another scenario told, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field." He delegated task to his disciples, showing teamwork.
Jesus also sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover."
