The Apostle Paul worked most of his life trying to tear down the walls that divide us...racial, social, gender. He worked to bring all people, whether Jew or Gentile, to Jesus. He taught that no one is superior or inferior at the foot of the cross.
Our human condition works to divide us. The society created by man teaches us to look out only for number one!
Imagine how we must look to the outside world when we fight amongst ourselves over the most trivial issues and neglect those in our care. Can you understand why those who do not follow Christ see no reason to accept Him in light of our selfishness? What have we done for our brother to show Christ's love? Do we feel joy at being called the sons and daughters of God? Do we freely share our inheritance with those who don't know or don't understand?
God calls us to empty ourselves and give freely, with open heart and open hands, all that He has given us. Can you share?
