"You are all sons of God in Christ Jesus,...There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." Galatians 3:26:28
Someone (and I honestly do not remember who) once said, "All men are created equal, and most remain that way." How opposite that statement is to the verse above. Isn't it amazing how being in Christ changes things. One of the oldest tricks of the enemy is to fracture and divide a united group, especially the church. Families splinter and dissolve (especially over inheritance) into clans of loyalty. Ethnic groups are stand-offish to other ethnic groups. Churches arrogantly proclaim their superiority over other churches. But it was never meant to be that way. Once we receive the grace of God, we are equal. Equally blessed by God, equally undeserving of being blessed. I am sure there will always be a fractured society until the Lord Jesus returns. Satan will make sure of that. But that doesn't mean that we have to be part of it. If you ever find yourself feeling a little bit superior to someone else, re-read the verse above and remember God's perspective on each of us.
Thought for the week: Eat well, stay fit, die anyway
Funny for the week: Coy wife
As the crowded elevator descended, Mrs. Shapiro became increasingly furious with her husband, who was delighted to be pressed against a gorgeous blond.
As the elevator stopped at the main floor, the blonde suddenly whirled, slapped Mr. Shapiro, and said, "That will teach you to pinch!"
Bewildered, Mr. Shapiro was halfway to the parking lot with his wife when he choked, "I...I...didn't pinch that girl."
"Of course you didn't" said his wife, consolingly. "I did."
Bet he stands on his pillow and crows……………. Chaplain Barnes
Last week’s answer: Who walked naked and barefoot for three years as a prophetic sign that the same would happen to Egyptians taken prisoner by Assyria? Isaiah (Isaiah 20:2-3)
This week’s question: What was Daniel’s Babylonian name?
