“There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” Galatians‬ ‭3‬:‭28‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Today’s Rethink Church Photo-A-Day word is celebrate. I chose a picture of the American Flag. Although many of you are from the United States of America, we have readers from all around the world. If you read our key verse from Galatians, no matter all the different backgrounds, we are all one in Christ Jesus. That is something to celebrate.

Although we are all one in Christ, we are all uniquely made by God. In Psalm 139:13-14 NIV we read: “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” If you were to unwind all of the DNA in your body and link it together end-to-end it would stretch over 110 billion miles. To put that into perspective, your DNA could stretch from the earth to the sun and back 600 times! That is 600 round trips to the sun! That is something to celebrate. Let’s pray through Isaiah 64:8.

Dear God, You are our Father. We are Your clay. You are the potter. We are all the work of Your hands. Thank you for making us unique. May we all celebrate together that we are one in Christ Jesus. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
