National unrest
October 2, 2017
Sadly our nation is divided and shuddering over racial unrest. I’ve been reading Paul’s letters to the churches and I see a mirror to these same issues today. The Jewish people wanted to protect their identity and their special place as God’s chosen people. Jesus opened the door to Gentiles. No need for circumcision, no need to be in one place to worship.
The jewish people were called on to change, not cling to their powerful positions, their self focus. They were called on to embrace others not like them.
Galatians 3: 28 is clear. There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Take a knee. Ask God for humility and healing.
