There Is Neither Jew Nor Greek,
Slave Nor Free, Male Nor Female,
For You Are All One In Christ Jesus.
GALATIANS 3:28
Thoughts About This Verse . . .
Wouldn’t it be Great
if we could Tear Down all the Walls that Divide Us
- Racial, Social, Gender.
The Apostle Paul spent his Entire Life
Trying To Do just That,
to Tear Down the Walls that Divided People
by Bringing Them to Jesus And The Cross.
There are No Positions of Superiority or Inferiority
at the Foot of the Cross,
only Those Who Discover God’s Might Displayed in Sacrifice
and God’s Love Displayed in the Face of Human Cruelty.
While the Forces of Culture
and Human Selfishness are Always Finding Ways to Divide Us,
we Must Remember that Jesus,
and Only In Jesus,
We Can Be One.
MY PRAYER . . .
Forgive Me,
O God,
when I have let Prejudice
and Suspicion Keep Me from fully Loving
those whom You Have Claimed as Your Children.
I Pray that my Life will be an Example of Redemption
and Unity as I Seek to Love Your Children as You Do.
Through Him whose dying Prayer Was For Unity,
I Pray.
Amen.
