Galatians 3: 23-28
verse 28: There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
I wonder what it was like to be part of the early church? Paul is reminding us there is no difference between us once we accept Christ. We are all “one” in Christ. There are so many different ways to “be a Christian” now. Do we recognize and celebrate what unites us? I feel overwhelmed and held down with administration and levels of power in our church. And then there are all of the other denominations of Christianity, some with less administration, and some with even more. I sincerely do not believe this is pleasing to God. What can I do? I must believe Christ is with us, loving us, and knowing our hearts.
Lord, help me to remember and celebrate what unites us. May your light shine in me, no matter what. May your light shine in all of us, and our numbers grow. Amen

Galatians 3: 23-28 Though we all have our own unique gifts and talents from God and recognise the difference between male and female ,we are all members of the body of Christ - and as such there is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female - for we are all one in Christ Jesus, our Lord.

Galatians 3: 23-28
28 There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
I find that this verse is telling me that we are all children of God. Through our belief in Jesus Christ we have the faith we need to work on being less critical of others and realize that we are all the same in God’s eyes. Sometimes when I watch others practice their religious beliefs I may question are they really children of God. That’s because I don’t understand their ways. I have to learn to accept all people and not question why they do things the way they do. I am…
Galatians 3:24 - “Therefore the law was our disciplinarian until Christ came, so that we might be justified by faith.”
Living under the law of Moses had proven to be an impossibly difficult task for generations of God’s people. God saw fit to provide humankind a means to forgiveness for failing to keep the law for those who repented of their sin. Forgiveness is not license to sin. The commandments still apply, but in Jesus, all with a repentant heart will find a divine advocate.
Prayer - Merciful God, thank you for the gift of forgiveness, salvation and
eternal life we have been given in Christ Jesus. Help us to share that gift with others. Amen
