“We may have all come on different ships, but we're in the same boat now."- Martin Luther King, Jr. 


Many of the stories we read in the Bible are parables and metaphors designed to help us understand the nature of our reality. 


One such story is about the Tower of Babel found in Genesis 11. Humans were working together in arrogance to build a tower to reach the heavens. As a result, God scrambled their languages so they no longer understood each other.


The Genesis story tells us that all of our human divisions and alienations from each other are a result of sin. The earliest Christian’s believed baptism into Christ erased those divisions. The divisions of ethnicity, class and gender were no more. They became one in Christ.


Until we understand that we aren’t in separate boats but rather we are in the same boat, we will not solve humanity’s biggest problems. Amen.
