"Let's join hands and have a race"

THE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR

That was the caption under a picture of several exuberant children, of different races and backgrounds, hands joined, happily running together. Each joyful, smiling face reflected its own special qualities. Truly this picture was worth a thousand words.

Perhaps it takes children, free of prejudice and suspicion, to speak to us of the family unity among all races and nationalities on earth.

The Bible tells us that we are the children of God. The New Testament is bright with beautiful images of heavenly Parent and child. Christ Jesus' references to God as our Father shouldn't be ignored or lightly dismissed. That we are all brothers and sisters in the beloved family of God is a major theme of Jesus' ministry.
