There Is Neither Jew Nor Gentile

"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)

Many of our churches today are still asleep to the prejudice and discrimination occurring in the body of Christ. The different ethnic groups may sit together during the Sunday morning service, but the church is still divided. People of one race have unreasonable feelings, opinions, and attitudes towards another race. In public, general comments, insensitive to another race, are being made from the pulpit. In private, direct personal comments, rude and derogatory of a person's culture and nature, are spoken to another.

Presently, I minister to the children in a predominately African decent church. Among them, I sense no racial barriers, but with the adults, it is a different story. If only the adults would have the hearts of children, we would be all one in Christ Jesus.
