getting naked

Wednesday June 23rd, 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 who care that all are included at the table. The table includes things like health care, immigration, regulations (rules to play by) and love of one another.
