Martin Luther King Day
Dearly beloved of God, today we celebrate Martin Luther King Day.
The Lord Jesus Christ is the only solution to race relations.
When a person is born again of God’s spirit he becomes a new man, a child of God with Christ in him, the hope of glory. The new man is neither black or white, yellow or brown; neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond or free: but Christ is all and in all.
A child of God has to put on the mind of Christ and walk in the love of God; not join a group like Black Lives Matter that pits one race against another in the name of equality. Carnal solutions are not God's solutions.
Happy Martin Luther Day which celebrates a man’s character, not the color of his skin.
The only equality a person will ever have is as a member of the body of Christ, the Church, in which each member is filled with everything that Christ accomplished. They are filled with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realm in Christ. They are complete in him who is the head of all principality and power.
Want equality? Confess Jesus as Lord and believe that God raised him from the dead and you will be saved, become a child of God, an heir of God, and a joint heir with Christ. That is the only way to overcome the flesh and the reign of sin and death. It is much bigger than the color of your skin, dearly beloved of God.
