Re:Verse passage – 1 Peter 2:18-25 (day six)
There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus. Galatians 3:2
You who are slaves…1 Peter 2:18
Peter was writing to churches that were socially very diverse. This is a staggering thought. There were slaves, free citizens, rich business men, poor families, wives and husbands, the politically connected and the powerless, all together because of Jesus, which was virtually unheard of in the Roman empire during the first century.
That’s what the Gospel does, it tears down all barriers, bringing all people together. No one had seen anything like it!
Jesus makes us family; citizens of a new and different and glorious kingdom! Only the Gospel could do something like that!
Thanks Danny. What a privilege it is to be among the redeemed.
