Re:Verse passage – Galatians 3:1-14 (day seven)
You foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified? Galatians 3:1
I think this letter could easily have been written to us:
You foolish Americans. You have such a strong foundation on your faith, why would you allow this kind of heresy to infiltrate your churches. It seems like someone has put a spell on you, because there is no reason for you to be acting this way.
We could say this for numerous heresies in our culture today, but what was the issue in Galatia? It was about inclusion. This wouldn’t be an issue for us would it? We wouldn’t show favoritism to certain people would we?
It is natural for us to be drawn to people who are like us. There are people that we just seem to click more with. The issue is these clicks can easily turn into cliques. What we need to realize is the thing that allows us to “click” more than anything in this world is the Holy Spirit living inside of each of us. Today there will be over a thousand people on our campus. Go outside of your normal rhythm, maybe even sit in a different pew or seat, and see if you can connect and click with someone new.
My favorite again this week! You really hit hard on this one today. Described me for sure! I am so glad you are a part of our everyday prayer team, but even more than you are our youth minister!
I agree with Julie. This is sooo good and such profound truth! And not just because you are my son..You have a gift for presenting the truth with Holy Spirit inspired words! Love!
