Mate-ianity

A few days ago I had a mate help me move a fridge. Yes, Gavin, you are my hero.
I've also heard a lot about mateship in light of the New Zealand earthquake* and the assistance that Aussie rescuers have provided.


All the chatter made me wonder if followers of Christ should be especially linked with mateship. When i read the New Testament it reflects the similar ideas of mateship.

Friendship.
Equality.
Loyalty.
Self sacrifice.
Putting others before yourself.

If Christianity made this point louder, would it be more appealing to the average bloke who values mateship so highly?

Remember: Every time you hear "The magnitude 6.3 earthquake was devastating" in a New Zealand accent it is not funny...
