On this Heritage Sunday, we celebrated the beauty of God’s design for His people—a family made up of every nation, tribe, people, and language. In Heaven’s Heritage from Revelation 7:9–12, we were reminded that diversity in the church is not a problem to manage, but the very will of God.

We saw that heaven itself is a picture of joyful, unified diversity, and as God’s people we are called to live out that reality here and now. In South Africa especially, our unity across differences is one of the clearest and most powerful witnesses to the truth of the gospel.

This message calls us not just to tolerate one another, but to embrace our God-given differences with joy—because they are a foretaste of heaven and a testimony to Christ’s reconciling work.
