Neither One

Galatians 3:28
"28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus."

We are given the gift of FAITH by our Lord and Savior. The word FAITH did NOT exist BEFORE Jesus Christ's incarnation! It's a compelling case and futher demonstrates YET another way that the Son of God changed the world forever! FAITH is not just believing in something, FAITH is believing in JESUS CHRIST!

In these verses the Apostle Paul is writing to encourage the church in Galatia. He is telling them that essential message we studied last week; we have communion with GOD through His Son and by The Holy Ghost! We no longer needs signs and wonders from without because we NOW have GOD with us in our innermost lives and we get to call Him; "Father." We "are all the children of God BY FAITH in Christ Jesus!" 

Our baptism makes us all one family. We are clothed in Jesus Christ. Equally loved and equally prized as children of God. Baptism makes us one. People have always made distinction between people. We naturally appreciate the variety of people. God made us in unique forms and fashion. We like to think that one is better than the other, but we are wrong...

"There is NEITHER Jew nor Greek, there is NEITHER bond nor free, there is NEITHER male nor female: for ye are all ONE in Christ Jesus." Our world today is looking for this Messiah! People are coming up with wild theories, pitting one person against the next, makings up new terms and digging up old wicked ways. All out of some desperate attempt to find relevance and meaning when it's all here. Right at their fingertips, hidden in the pages of the Holy Bible; we are all ONE in Christ Jesus!

Elisha’s example

1 Kings 19:19-21 "19 So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him. 20 And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said unto him, Go back again: for what have I done to thee? 21 And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him." In Luke 9:54, after James and John sought to call down fire on a Samaritan village that rejected Jesus, they referenced Elijah, saying, “even as Elias did?” Jesus then taught three lessons about rejection: 1- Discipleship demands sacrifice, embracing hardship and forgoing earthly security. 2- Following Jesus requires immediate, un...

I will make you

Matthew 4:19&20 "19 And He saith unto them, Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed Him." In our "Follow Me" series, we study Jesus calling His disciples in the Gospel of Matthew. By the Sea of Galilee, a thriving fishing hub, Jesus saw Simon and Andrew casting nets as humble fishermen. His disciples were ordinary workers, not wealthy or educated elites. Jesus approached them and said, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." Remarkably, they immediately left their jobs to follow Him. This brief exchange conveys a profound truth: Jesus says, "I will make you." Only God can transform us to accomplish His purpose. We should often pray, "Help me, God," seeking Jesus' guidance to follow His plan for our lives.

God’s patience

2 Peter 3:9 "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." God did not immediately punish King Solomon when he allowed his foreign wives to build altars for false gods. Despite multiple compromises, God remained patient. Over time, Solomon’s endorsement of idolatry defied God’s covenant, leading to divine judgment, including the loss of the kingdom for his son. Some mistake God’s patience for indifference or inaction, but He follows His plan in His timing. If our nation, culture, church, or we ourselves stray like Solomon, we can repent and return to God’s path. And, should do so sooner than later! Amen!
