This week Eurovision has been going.
I find it interesting that Eurovision celebrates cultural diversity but it won’t let some countries enter- how did Australia get in?
The bible teaches us that God does not really care about what country a person comes from and neither should we.
11 It doesn’t matter if you are a Greek or a Jew, or if you are circumcised or not. You may even be a barbarian or a Scythian, and you may be a slave or a free person. Yet Christ is all that matters, and he lives in all of us. (Colossians 3)
Christians are reminded that, regardless of nationality, we are united and equal under Jesus. While the world fights over flags, we fly all our flags together under Him.
During Unite Week we celebrate diversity knowing it is God who makes us different. We celebrate diversity because Jesus died for all peoples and not some people. Christians celebrate diversity for we know that heaven will be full of different languages, cultures, colours with none of them spoiled by sin or racism or hatred.
Take time out this week to pray that our students may understand these truths, live them, and celebrate with us.
