God's Word for Tuesday, 8/29/17

In Christ’s family there can be no division into Jew and non-Jew, slave and free, male and female. Among us you are all equal. That is, we are all in a common relationship with Jesus Christ. Also, since you are Christ’s family, then you are Abraham’s famous “descendant,” heirs according to the covenant promises.
Galatians 3:28 MSG

Interesting way to put it.

And I am very grateful that it is so!

Incredibly relevant. Interestingly enough, all you see in the pictures coming from Houston is people helping people, regardless of how they appear on the outside. A far greater testimony to equality and seeing each other as human than any group of any side has been able to muster.

Me too, Linda. :)

TB, that is so. Jesus came to establish a whole new race of people: Christians. Many colors, many nationalities, ONE PEOPLE. It's our fault that we so often fail. But tragedy tends to bring out the best in people of good will, and it's a wonderful thing to see the cooperation of humanity in such a historic endeavor.
