60 Seconds of Hope with Horace McMillon
There Is No Nationalism In Christianity
There Is No Nationalism in Christianity
These are the words that were spoken as some of the earliest Christians were baptized into Christ:
“There is no longer Jew or Greek; there is no longer slave or free; there is no longer male and female, for all of you are one in Christ Jesus.” - Galatians 3:28
The ancient world of the Mediterranean of this time was highly polarized and divided by race, class, and gender. Who a person was, how they were treated, and what they could hope to be and do was largely determined and constrained by that person’s status.
Prior to baptism there was no thought or possibility of equality, mutuality, true honor or sincere respect across these divisions. We were estranged and alienated from each other with all the suspicion, mistrust, and hatred such divisions bring.
Being baptized into Christ ends these divisions as our identity together as children of God supersedes all others. The divisions of race, class, gender, and I believe any other divisions we can think of, are ended. There’s no nationalism in Christianity.
I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope. Peace be with you.
