Lines

Monday January 22nd, 1 Corinthians 12: 12 The body of Christ has many different parts, just as any other body does. 13 Some of us are Jews, and others are Gentiles. Some of us are slaves, and others are free. But God's Spirit baptized each of us and made us part of the body of Christ. This was a radical understanding at the time of Paul. Jews and Gentiles did not freely associate and slavery, where one person owned another, was wide spread. Paul is stating that we are all part of God’s glorious creation. Whenever there is a division, whenever there is a line drawn in the sand, Jesus is on the other side of the line. Where do we draw lines today? In how many ways do we force Jesus out of our lives in the process? What can you do in your community to help erase the lines that have already been drawn?
