GALATIANS 3:28

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.


TO PONDER:

"You will never look into the eyes of someone God does not love". I don't know who first wrote that, but it has become a meme that has popped up on several social media platforms in recent months. It often includes a tag line of "Always be kind." It's about adopting a different posture towards those that we interact with each day. It's about recognising that there are things going on in other's lives that we are unaware of that drive their response, their behaviour, their reactions to things. Paul reminds the Church to stop putting labels on people or making distinctions between people because what Christ has done on the cross is for everyone. The door of heaven is open to all who would receive Jesus and respond to his invitation. How might your attitude, your posture change today if every set of eyes you looked into today, you say a person God loves and died for? How might the love and light of Jesus be reflected back to them? How might the love and acceptance of Christ through you, transform their world and reveal a new reality to them? Worth thinking about. Even better...worth trying!

PRAYER:

Holy Spirit, let the resurrected life I have received in Christ help me see others today with a new heart, a new perspective, a new love. Amen.
