"Neither circumcision counts for anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation," Galatians 6:15.
Are we Jewish? counts for nothing. Are we Gentile? counts for nothing. What counts for everything now: God's new creation. Born of the new covenant. Not of the modern state of Israel. Not of the modern state of the United States. Not of the modern state of Russia. Not of the modern state of China. Not of the modern state of anywhere on earth. All that counts now is God's new creation. God established a new covenant in the cross of Christ. May his peace and mercy be upon all who walk by his rule, upon the Israel of God. The congregation of the Messiah. New creation.
We meet with a brother or sister today participants together in the new creation. And together we give thanksgivings out loud to God who alone makes all things new.
