Galatians 6, Day 5

Read

Galatians 6:14-16

The old world was marked by distinctions and separation. One received one’s identity by polarized categories: Jew or Gentile, law-keeper or law-ignorer, male or female, slave or free.  The new world that came into being in Jesus Christ overcame the law and circumcision. It also overcame non-law and non-circumcision, religion and non-religion.

Reflect

Pay special attention today to the new thing(s) God is doing in your midst. What transformation are you and the community around you experiencing?

Respond

Follow Jesus

Ask your spouse or friend, “What new thing is happening in your life?” Perhaps you’ll also be able to speak to where you see the transformation happening in your life.

Pray

God you are making all things new. I praise you for the Spirit’s work in my life and the lives of the people I love. Continue to help us grow in grace. Amen.
