A book about math says one equals one, but the Book of God teaches all are equal in THE ONE. Paul tells us, “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.” In Him, diversities of peoples become one.
When the Spirit of God is poured out upon a people, they rise to the place where they all flow together. It is so racially, for no longer are they Jew and Gentile. Peter and Cornelius lose their prejudice against one another. When the Spirit of God comes, He also takes care of our social problems. There is no bond or free. The master and servant’s distinction is lost in the Great Emancipator. The rich and the poor, the learned and illiterate—their pools flow together when the tide is high.
I spent some years living close to the ocean. At low tide, there are scores of separate pools along the seashore, but, at high tide, they flow together, and the distinctions are lost in union. It seem to me that in many of our lives it is high time for a high tide.
