Stirred By The Scriptures

One of the wonderful results of being able to travel has been meeting believers from so many different cultures. Suzi and I have had the joy of having some of our friends from China stay with us the past several days. It has been a treat to extend hospitality in return for the gracious way they hosted us. I was thinking about our two cultures which in some ways are as different as night and day, I was reminded that we are all part of the Body of Christ. My mind then went to a scene that is almost too glorious to imagine. John’s vision of Jesus sweeps us up into the throne room of God and there before the Lamb are saints “from every tribe and language and people and nation” who God has made to be a kingdom! What a day when we all worship without the barriers of language or culture or anything. All of that is possible because of Jesus. When we see him differences will no longer matter. How I wish that could be said of the church today.
