Today's reading reminds us both of the new life we have in Christ and the bond of baptism. In Christ we are made new and we are formed into a community of faith. The bond of that community supersedes the claims of class, race, country, even family. Christ's calling claims us and sets us free.
Blessings as you live out your calling today,
Sam
Galatians 3:23-29
23Now before faith came, we were imprisoned and guarded under the law until faith would be revealed. 24Therefore the law was our disciplinarian until Christ came, so that we might be justified by faith. 25But now that faith has come, we are no longer subject to a disciplinarian, 26for in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith. 27As many of you as were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. 28There 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. 29And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to the promise.
