IMPLICATIONS OF GALATIANS 3:28

Lectionary text: Galatians 3:28 - There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male and female; for all of you are one in Christ Jesus.

RACE AND THE RACE

Defining identity strictly by race
denies that in Christ all are one.
For God does not look at the skin on your face;
God judges the race you have run.

IF WE CAN’T, WHO CAN?

The love of Christ transcends all gaps
of race, or class, or clan.
If church folk cannot demonstrate
the love of Christ, who can?

The hurting world must see and hear
the Christian gospel still.
If church folk will not share the news
  of Jesus' love, who will?
