“There’s No Difference Between Us In The Kingdom”

Albert Einstein once said, “I speak to everyone in the same way, whether he is the garbage man or the president of the university.” Although we’re all individuals, there’s some good advice here.

I’ve made friends with many different people around the world, and one thing I have learnt is that people everywhere are similar. We all have the same dreams; the same things make us happy, and the same things make us sad.

The Bible also tells us that there’s basically no difference between us all. There are two verses that talk about this.

One says, “There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:22-23). That’s bad news. The other verse says, “There is no difference ... the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him” (Romans 10:12). And that’s really good news!

The blessing that the Lord has for us all is the forgiveness of sin and the gift of eternal life. This is his gift for all who believe. This underscores our equality in the Kingdom of Heaven. There are no first or second-class seats at the foot of the Cross.

Unfortunately, it is simply part of fallen human nature to be prejudiced against anyone who is different. I encourage you to challenge yourself by befriending someone you consider very different to yourself. Choose to share the love of God without bias or prejudice.
