So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are citizens with the saints and also members of the household of God, built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the cornerstone. –Ephesians 2:19-21
Three generations of women greeted the Just Peace Players in a remote church in China! It was almost 20 years ago. The mom told us through our friend that she had been a Cristian since before the War (The Revolution in China) and even Mao’s camps couldn’t make her give it up. Her granddaughter is a believer too because she knows Christ loves us all. Her little great grand-daughter likes to say the prayers at meals and know’s God loves her too. Westerners didn’t come to their village, and they were thrilled that we had come, and were Christians too. “Now we know you are real people and we prayed together. Amen.”
We are a big community of believers…beloved across oceans and continents. I celebrate the cornerstone of God’s love made know through Jesus and invite you to share it wherever you go.
Thank you, holy one, for your love and the many ways it is shared. Amen
