A New NormalEgzanp

Day 11

In Acts 11, Peter returned to Jerusalem. Why? Because the impossible had happened - Gentiles (Non-Jews) were following Jesus. Everybody knew Gentiles and Jews didn’t mix. They didn’t eat together, marry each other and barely talked to one another. So, what do you do when God puts Jew and Gentile together?! You let go of your prejudice and let God have His way. Can you imagine how awkward this was? God is creating a Church of all races and ages. That’s why the Church started being known as a new thing, a new people, a new normal: Christians. 

Therefore, let us go out and break down the walls that divide us. This message was the inspiration for Martin Luther King Jr’s struggle for a new normal in his country. Now it’s our turn. Our turn to show the unifying love of Jesus to a broken and divided world.
