I have this Bible app on my phone, and I added a widget that shows me the verse of the day when I swipe my screen to the left. This morning, it took me to Galatians 3:28, which says, “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” 

My brother and I are so different. Physically, he is taller and slimmer. Intelligence wise, he is way smarter than I am. Personality wise, he and I can be at the opposite ends of the spectrum. Many of you have similar dynamics in your family as well. When I introduce my brother to other people, I would say, “He and I share the same parents.” Despite all the differences we have, the one thing that does not change is that we have the same parents. So when I see him preach, or make certain gestures or expressions, I think to myself, ‘that’s exactly the same as our dad!’ I get that, too. I don’t think I resemble my dad, but many times, Hyemi would tell me that I act like my dad. It’s like, we are different, but we are still one.

I think the same about the verse above in Galatians. We are all different, yet we are one. That is because we are all God’s created beings, and we are all His children. Moreover, Jesus has died for every single one of us in this world, past, present, and future. We are also brought together by the blood of Jesus Christ. That’s why I can call you brothers and sisters. I pray that we can always remember this in our homes, community, and our church. We are different, but we are all one in Christ.
