As human beings, we are sadly encouraged to live in fear. We are taught to avoid "The Other," those who are different from us. We are taught that they are "The Enemy." And it is easy to become a slave to fear and these false, divisive teachings. But as Paul writes in Galations, "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." |
