So now you Gentiles are no longer strangers and foreigners. You are citizens along with all of God’s holy people. You are members of God’s family.
There were many times growing up that I was like the odd duck, being on the outside of the in crowd.
It was not until I became Christian that I felt like I really belonged. The peace and joy I sensed was wonderful; and I am still caught up in it.
Friend, Christianity is not an in-group, but made up of odd ducks, radicals, strangers and foreigners. It is quite all inclusive, being centered on the redemptive work of Christ alone.
You and I are not just part of God’s family, but we are holy people and that is only because Christ became sin for us that we might become the righteousness of God through him
So how are you going to live out this Good News today? Who will you tell? Who feels left out?
