he said, " When all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants & Catholics will be able to join hands, and sing in the words of the old negro spiritual free at last, free at last, GREAT GOD ALMIGHTY WE ARE FREE AT LAST!" MLK ( I Have A Dream)HE said, " 25 But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian, 26 for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith. 27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave[a] nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." Gal. 3:25-28
Where do you live? Where do you work? Ok, I'll just cut to the chase....where ever it is you live, work, and or worship does it look like GOD? If we are all created equal, if we are heaven will be this place for all people does the places your live, work, worship & play look that diverse? If not, why not? I particularly work at a diverse company (not just in race either...), I live in a diverse neighborhood, I shop in diverse places, and I worship at a diverse church. Now I say this to contrast that there was a time that I didn't live in a diverse neighborhood, or worshipped at a diverse church, and really at the end of the day....it does matter to GOD. If you have accepted CHRIST, I mean truly accepted CHRIST as your personal indwelling Savior then it should bother you to see discord in living, working, worshipping & playing. Your fight should be to see harmony in CHRIST, and that He may be glorified by your living. Martin Luther King, Jr. desired that we'd experience true freedom, and he was only echoing what Christ offers in a life fully surrendered to His love, grace, and purpose for EVERY LAST ONE OF US.
The question is.........ARE YOU EXPERIENCING THAT FREEDOM, or are you still a slave to the SIN (of racism, prejudice and/or bigotry) that slithers into our places of work, worship, & play? Again I can't stress it enough....it's all about Loving God, and Loving (ALL) People! I pray you pick the good fight today!
