The Level Playing Ground

UV 380/10,000 The level playing ground Col 3:11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all. Christ creates a perfectly level playing ground for all of us. Neither our nationality, our religious background, our cultural background or our status counts. Christ is the be all and end all of life. Everything we do begins and ends in Him. He is no respecter of persons. He is rich unto all- any one who calls unto Him. He is not partial and hence, He reaches out to all. Other leaders and teachers attempted to point people to God. But, Jesus pointed us to God and said, “ Father, these too are your children even as I Am.” Christ is above any and all great religious leaders and teachers. In Christ, we are each above them too. He fills us with the full measure of His wisdom and knowledge. He enables us or gives us grace to fulfill our potential and His purpose. He is the Alpha and the Omega. Hence, we can entrust to Him the project of our life from beginning to end. It also means that when we involve Him in a specific challenging project in our lives, He will guide and lead us step by step. He will see us through to completion and perfection. He leads us through a mix or balance of a supernatural and natural path of growth. Every thing in our lives are as fragile as an egg shell- be it health, wealth, wisdom, power, beauty, hope, strength: but there are two ways to break an egg shell - from an external force that could mean injury or destruction or from an internal source that could mean growth,life and progress. Man breaks the shell of life using technology or force from outside in a wrenching, destructive way. The Lord uses nature and the supernatural to break the shell from within in a process of growth for which the wait requires patience but the results are enduring Prateep V Philip
