While our national origins and ethnic heritages differ, we are members of one Kingdom. Our allegiance transcends ethnicity, race, culture, language, and nation. Why? Because we’ve been rescued from the dominion that holds sway over race, culture, language, and country. That dominion, the dominion of darkness, divides us and makes us suspicious of each other, leading to hatred and warfare. We’ve been given a more glorious and lasting Kingdom! We’ve been made into a more glorious and colorful people — one not based on race, ethnicity, language, social status, nation, or skin color! We are God’s children and part of the Kingdom of the Son he loves. “For [the Father] has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves.” Colossians 1:13.

But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. —1 Corinthians 1:27. The Cross
