Honor in the Family

From Our Pastor's Desk

Acts 17:26 – “And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation” This scripture tells us that God hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth.

By this we understand that all nations are of one blood. This indicates the brotherhood of all men.

We are all made "of one blood." The whole family of man-kind, with all its billions, has descended from one pair—from Adam and Eve.

Kings and their subjects, rich and poor, learned and unlearned, prince and pauper, the educated and the untutored, the fashionable lady and the shabby,—all, will trace their pedigree, to one man and one woman.

All the dwellers in Europe, Asia, Africa, and America originally sprung from Adam and Eve. We were all "made of one blood."

As we are all of "one blood", then we ought to behave as members of one great family. We ought to "love as brethren."

We ought to honor ourselves. We ought to put away from us anger, wrath, malice, quarrelling, as especially hateful in the sight of God.

When we come to Christ we are all born into God’s family through the precious blood of the Lamb of God.  Ephesians 3:14-15 “For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,” Love, charity, kindness, and sympathy are the truest proofs that we are real members of Christ, genuine children of God, and rightful heirs of the kingdom of heaven.

We are the Family of Christ. And the Head of the Family, Jesus Christ, will continue to abound us with His grace to be One, in Jesus mighty Name. Amen.

You will have a great turn-around this 2020.

Remain blessed. 

Shalom.
