Sharers Together


6This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus.

7I became a servant of this gospel by the gift of God's grace given me through the working of his power. 8Although I am less than the least of all God's people, this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, , 11according to his eternal purpose which he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord.
12In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.
Ephesians 3

It's Morning, Jesus
This is the morning that Jew and Gentile can sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
This is the morning that Ishmael and Israel can eat breakfast together.
This is the morning that all that once seemed far off and distant from the righteousness of the tradition and the law can now be included in Jesus, who is the fulfillment of that law.

Holiness has not been put away....it has been put on in Christ. He is our holiness.
Righteousness has not been hung in the closet of the past...we are "clothed in His righteousness"...Glory be to God

So today, I who am mere man, mere mortal, get to put on the new clothes the King has appointed for me to wear....

I am adopted, brought in, chosen, included, made whole and well, perfected in His righteousness.

What a day.

Amen
