“You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus…” Galatians 3:26
The gift of faith makes us children of God! Amen? Amen! And that also means that we are all then brothers and sisters in Christ. Amen? Amen! In Jesus there are no divisions. There are no divisions despite what a fallen world would try to make us believe. And yet, sin would lie to us and set up boundaries to keep us from knowing and living this truth. We see the effects all around us, driven by a secular world who sees this life through temporal and material eyes and accordingly instigates hate and retaliation.
But our great God is a boundary breaker. The One Who moved the stone on that first Easter Sunday continues to remove the boundaries of sin that would divide us. He is the One true God Who has called us to be His One Body, without division. When we give ear to His truths, we are empowered to live the reality of oneness ourselves, bound together by the love of God.
I love the song that expresses this truth so beautifully. Please read it, or if you know the melody, to sing it. It’s titled, “Bind us Together”.
“There is only One God. There is only One King. there is only One Body, That is why we sing…
Bind us together, Lord, bind us together, with bonds that cannot be broken.
Bind us together, Lord, bind us together, bind us together with love.”
It is the love of God that is the most powerful force in our world. It is a love readily accessible for all and able to do amazing things. Now is the time. Here is the place and you and I are the instruments through which God expresses His amazing love for all!
Know that you are loved!
Peace and Joy,
Pastor Kilian
