All One

Galatians 3:28 NLT
There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus.

I just got another advertisement in the mail for new vehicles. They are certainly tempting with their new features and styles and colors. What choices we have, even the choice of getting one or keeping the one we have. The ads entice us to choose theirs.

No matter how far we get in this culture it seems we keep falling back. Men are pitted against women and blacks against whites. And yet, as believers, we are all one. Father God sees us as we will be in heaven for eternity. We are in Christ and He is in us.

So in these earthen vessels we may see us as different, but we are not. When we look at someone of a different gender or color, who do we see? Do we see the child of God inside or the outward appearance?

So it is not that black lives matter or white lives or any one group of people. All matter to our Father God. That is why He sent Jesus to live among us and suffer for us on the cross. He sent Jesus so that all might be saved.
