Grace for your spirit July 23, 2015

Grace for your spirit
Therefore, from now on, we recognize no man according to the flesh; even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer.  II Corinthians 5:16

When we look at people, it is difficult not to make judgments and assumptions from what we see and know.  We may know something about their reputation, or be affected by their ethnic background, or their religious influences.  We need to look deeper with spiritual eyes to see the new creature Christ has created.  As Christ died, we all can die to our past and rise to walk in a new life.  Christianity is about tearing down dividing walls, and reconciliation in Christ.  Let's help tear them down, not rebuild new ones.  The gospel really is for all.
