Revelation 5: 9 They sang a new song:
“You are worthy to take the scroll
and to break open its seals.
For you were killed, and by your sacrificial death you bought
for God
people from every tribe, language, nation,
and race.
10 You
have made them a kingdom of priests to serve our God,
and they shall rule on earth.”
============
Being called by a
racial slur, made me want to fight. I figured, that intimidation would be the
best weapon to make sure this offense would never happen again. I got a huge
friend to go into the room with me as we faced the name caller and his 8
friends.
- I wanted to fight because of disrespect.
- I wanted to combat any racial inequality that existed.
- I wanted to make an example of the people who secretly harbored racism in their hearts.
John, the disciple
JESUS loved, heard a song from the four creatures, who’s image he could not
describe well and from the twenty-four elders. They sang a song that shows how
much JESUS loves “every tribe,
language, nation, and race.”
My Observations:
- JESUS did not die for one flag, rather all nations.
- JESUS loves people who do not look like me or talk like me.
- JESUS showed me the example I am supposed to follow, namely loving all for HIS kingdom purpose.
Unity seems important
to GOD. I mean, HE gave a new command to follow which is “Love one another.” HE
does not take this lightly. HE sees every tribe, HE speaks every language loves
every nation and adores every race. Unfortunately, humans want power and seek
superiority.
GOD has a new song that
was sang about JESUS. HE overcame racism, sexism, ageism and any other “ism” to
provide unity to the world. HIS love covers all our sins! We can rejoice with
everyone who believes!
Challenge
- Does the song recorded by the writer sound joyous?
- Is there a race you would prefer to see placed over other races?
- Will you focus on loving one another just as JESUS commanded you so unity can be spread throughout the world through you today?
