Elect Grownups

Wednesday June 27th, Galatians 3: 25-27 But now you have arrived at your destination: By faith in Christ you are in direct relationship with God. Your baptism in Christ was not just washing you up for a fresh start. It also involved dressing you in an adult faith wardrobe—Christ's life, the fulfillment of God's original promise. 28-29 In Christ's family there can be no division into Jew and non-Jew, slave and free, male and female. Among us you are all equal. If our baptism dresses us in an adult faith, most of us spend a lot of time getting naked. If this sign of maturity is to recognize there can be no divisions, humanity in general spends a lot of time and energy getting naked. Wars, vast income differentiations, health insurance discrepancies, insane increases in CEO pay while the debate for a living wage on the bottom goes on and on, “bring ‘em on” attitudes, all these and more are a sign of immaturity. Sure would be nice to elect some grownups.
