Scripture: "Therefore, remember that formerly you who are Gentiles by birth and called “uncircumcised” by those who call themselves “the circumcision” (which is done in the body by human hands)— remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world. For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit. Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household," Ephesians 2:11-12,14,18-19 (NIV) "There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." Galatians 3:28 (NIV) Application: Christians who waste time debating "who killed Jesus" neglect a pivotol fact: Jesus is not dead. He is risen. Further, who are we to question God on how He brought about the plan of salvation that made us full citizens in His kingdom? In fact, but for our own sinful nature, Jesus would not have had to be sacrificed at all. We stand united, in one Spirit, with anyone who confesses that Jesus Christ is Savior of the world. (Romans 10:9; 1 John 4:14) Prayer: Jesus Christ, help us practice our unity with all who accept Your rule. Amen. Comments are closed.
