8-5-14 Galatians 3

26So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, 27for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. 28There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise. (Galatians 3:26-29)

Thoughts: Christ brings all who will come to the Father.  He calls us His brothers and His Father calls us His children.  When we were baptized into Christ's name- the Father sees the Son and not our sinful selves.  I have always liked the great story of Cyrano De Bergerac- who wanted the damsel he loved to see his handsome friend instead of him.  When we are baptized, it is as if we put on Christ's clothes and form. We become one with him in adoption. 
    When we are baptized there is no distinction or differentiation.  There are no different classes or castes of Christians.  Whosoever will can come and drink freely of the water of eternal life.  It doesn't matter if you are male, female, rich or poor, wherever you are from- when we are baptized we are of the same family.  We become heirs of the promises of the father of faith- Abraham. God doesn't care about the earthly wares we have (money, beauty, stuff,) - He cares about what is on the inside.  

Prayer: Thank you Lord, for the opportunity to be your child- a part of your family.
