Galatians 3: 26 – 29
It really bothers me when every election season, liberal politicians try to divide the population by social standing, heritage, color, religion, gender, sexuality, and even age. Popular themes like “Two Americas” are used to support the views of a certain group of people, create a sense of victimhood, and set one group against the other.
At times like this, I run to the truth and comfort of the word of God. Here I am reminded of how the Lord see us not how human leaders do.
26 You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus,
27 for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.
28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
29 If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
In a world where pride and prejudice abound, Jesus offers us the joy of unity across all the lines that so easily divide us. In Him our diversity doesn’t divide but rather unites and enriches us as we recognize that we all have Jesus, His Word, and His ways in common. As we embrace Him together, our differences become secondary and our mutual love for Him drives us to love each other as He has loved us.
Verse 28 really says it all, doesn’t it?
If we read His word, how can we possibly be divided? How can any prejudice exist? How can anyone see themselves as a victim?
We are all one in Christ Jesus!
In His kingdom, pride and prejudice are out, and love and mutual acceptance are the order of the day.
Christ’s love creates unity in the midst of diversity.
