All in one and One in all

Tuesday January 8th, Ephesians 3: 6 And the mystery is this: Because of Christ Jesus, the good news has given the Gentiles a share in the promises that God gave to the Jews. God has also let the Gentiles be part of the same body. One of the eternal sins of humanity is that they always and forever attempt to tear asunder that which God has joined together. We build our fences and walls, we start wars, we mistrust, we create alliances against others, we fool ourselves into thinking that all the money and power and prestige we think we amass really amounts to anything important in the long run. In the end we discover that we all enter this world with nothing and leave it the same way. Our job, while we sojourn in this life, is to let the light of God shine through us, and to find the light of God in others. Immanuel is for all people.
