Bible Note: I think our Lord summed it up rather succinctly in... Matt 3:7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, “Brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 8 Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance, 9 AND DO NOT THINK TO SAY TO YOURSELVES, ‘WE HAVE ABRAHAM AS OUR FATHER.’ FOR I SAY TO YOU THAT GOD IS ABLE RAISE UP CHILDREN FROM THESE STONES. 10 And even now the ax is laid to the root of the trees. Therefore every tree which does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. 12 His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and gather His wheat into the barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.” (Emphais with all caps is mine.) One of man's oldest and most difficult sins to discard is that of the "pride of life," especially as it relates to racial prejudice. It started with Cain and will dominate this planet until its very last day in the universe. It's always been facinating to me how the elite of old would look at an American Native or an African black man with their red flowing blood and then declare somehow they were superior. Same ole problem between the Jews and Samaritans or the Gentiles. God installed His Image in all of us; Paul makes this so clear in... Col 3:9 Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds, 10 and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him, 11 where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, but Christ is all and in all. God's Way truly is the best way for all of us. Bill |
