Greetings,
Question: if we humans would sincerely seek to please God, would such things as racism, hate, envy, cruelty, violence, war, selfishness and other problems even exist?
Think about this: if two people, beginning miles apart, will lift up Christ and draw near to Him, it’s much like moving from the two bottom corners of a triangle toward the apex. Even if they begin miles apart, the triangle will automatically converge when we draw together and truly lift up Christ. Everything that has divided us will be left behind. Since the ground is level at the foot of the cross, the cross becomes the great equalizer for mankind!
On the other hand, when we fail to elevate Christ or make Him part of the equation, our efforts to bridge the distance between ethnicities, cultures and divisions will woefully fall short. Since God is love, to know Him, we must also love our brother.
Father, help us discover the value in one another. It is so much easier to see another person’s worth if we will draw closer to You and to them. I pray that You would heal the divisions that threaten to tear our nation apart, in Your Precious Name!
Today, I’m worshiping with the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir and “Pleasing.”
We love you and are praying for you. Be INSPIRED!
Pastor
