“…But God…made US alive together with Christ…raised US with him and seated US with him…” Ephesians 2:4 & 6
US
God sees the world not as black and white , them and us, but simply as US. Therefore…
STOP thinking you are the WHOLE.
START thinking of yourself as a PART of the whole. Fit in.
US THEM
Humans steer toward people who are like them, and veer away from people who are different. Therefore…
STOP spending time with people who think like you.
START spending time with people who think differently and just ask questions. Be curious and get uncomfortable, because you are greatly loved.
THEM
US
We fear THEM over US. Therefore…
STOP thinking of the pain of others as their problem.
START thinking of their pain as your problem.
US || THEM || US
Human solve racism by including THEM into US. The problem with this is: who is in control? Who is the host culture? Therefore…
STOP trying to be color blind.
START seeing differences as essential to your understanding of being human and God.
THEM || HIM || US
Christ comes between THEM and US by giving us new DNA, to create a race of new people called Christians. In the church we are all rookies. Christ is the host. We are exploring the new humanity. Therefore…
STOP thinking just inclusive.
START thinking indispensable.
“For this reason I bow my knees before the Father…” Ephesians 3:14
HIM
US
PROBLEMS
When we come together, we are seated with Christ, with our problems under our feet. Therefore…
STOP praying alone about this.
START praying with someone different than you.
