[2552.36 --> 2553.00] or your ethnicity. |
[2553.34 --> 2554.76] We are all one in Christ. |
[2555.66 --> 2556.48] And I'll just share |
[2556.48 --> 2557.24] a little bit personally |
[2557.24 --> 2559.00] that I grew up |
[2559.00 --> 2560.12] in a Dutch community, |
[2560.26 --> 2560.70] predominantly, |
[2560.86 --> 2561.42] Dutch-Canadian, |
[2561.60 --> 2562.84] a lot of immigrant families. |
[2563.58 --> 2564.46] And you don't know this, |
[2564.54 --> 2565.28] but you kind of grow up |
[2565.28 --> 2566.32] with a sense of pride |
[2566.32 --> 2567.52] with the culture you grew up in. |
[2567.52 --> 2568.18] Now that's a good thing. |
[2568.26 --> 2569.16] It's good to love |
[2569.16 --> 2570.18] the formation, |
[2570.36 --> 2570.84] your background. |
[2571.44 --> 2572.18] But I have learned |
[2572.18 --> 2572.68] that at least |
[2572.68 --> 2573.32] I can only speak |
[2573.32 --> 2574.04] for Dutch culture, |
[2574.52 --> 2575.50] that there's lots of phrases |
[2575.50 --> 2576.12] we use |
[2576.12 --> 2577.32] and lots of statements |
[2577.32 --> 2577.84] we make |
[2577.84 --> 2579.38] that suddenly make ourselves |
[2579.38 --> 2580.54] better than everybody else. |
[2581.12 --> 2581.34] Right? |
[2581.38 --> 2582.30] We look down on everyone. |
[2582.40 --> 2583.16] And I think part of that |
[2583.16 --> 2584.46] is Dutch people are so tall, |
[2584.74 --> 2585.46] they just naturally |
[2585.46 --> 2586.28] look down on people. |
[2588.18 --> 2589.22] And jokes aside, |
[2589.30 --> 2590.20] let me just put it this way, |
[2590.26 --> 2591.48] there is no room for that |
[2591.48 --> 2592.62] in the Church of Jesus Christ. |
[2594.26 --> 2595.04] That's what Jews |
[2595.04 --> 2595.74] struggled with. |
[2595.84 --> 2596.92] As the Gentiles came in, |
[2596.92 --> 2597.18] they're like, |
[2597.28 --> 2597.88] whoa, whoa, whoa. |
[2598.06 --> 2599.82] They're not quite Jewish enough. |
[2599.90 --> 2600.56] And Paul says, |
[2600.84 --> 2601.88] they are exactly |
[2601.88 --> 2603.08] what God wanted |
[2603.08 --> 2603.78] in His Church. |
[2604.38 --> 2605.20] All the cultures, |
[2605.38 --> 2606.16] all the ethnicities, |
[2606.32 --> 2607.18] that was the plan |
[2607.18 --> 2608.00] from the beginning |
[2608.00 --> 2609.06] by faith. |
[2609.74 --> 2610.58] And so there's no room |
[2610.58 --> 2610.88] for saying, |
[2610.96 --> 2611.70] ah, that person, |
[2612.22 --> 2612.66] I don't know how |
[2612.66 --> 2613.38] they made it in. |
[2613.92 --> 2614.66] That culture, |
[2614.86 --> 2615.86] surely they know |
[2615.86 --> 2616.56] that our culture |
[2616.56 --> 2617.30] is better than theirs. |
[2617.30 --> 2618.32] And it's all sorts |
[2618.32 --> 2619.08] of subtle things |
[2619.08 --> 2619.54] in the Church |
[2619.54 --> 2620.08] where we say, |
[2620.36 --> 2620.90] we're here, |
[2621.22 --> 2621.84] you're there. |
[2621.94 --> 2622.50] And Paul says, |
[2622.58 --> 2625.06] the Gospel is the great equalizer. |
[2626.54 --> 2627.42] It is the place |
[2627.42 --> 2628.62] where every single person |
[2628.62 --> 2629.86] who comes in the family of Christ |
[2629.86 --> 2631.98] comes by the grace of Jesus. |
[2632.94 --> 2633.56] Through the faith |
[2633.56 --> 2634.78] we share with our brothers |
[2634.78 --> 2635.38] and sisters. |
[2635.92 --> 2636.72] And there are no |
[2636.72 --> 2637.80] second-class citizens |
[2637.80 --> 2638.46] in the Church. |
[2638.86 --> 2640.58] May the Lord have mercy on us |
[2640.58 --> 2642.34] for the ways we subtly |
[2642.34 --> 2643.26] and not so subtly |
[2643.26 --> 2644.22] have those things |
[2644.22 --> 2645.50] in the body of Christ. |
[2645.50 --> 2646.58] Because he says, |
[2646.70 --> 2649.52] we are one in Christ Jesus. |
[2650.30 --> 2651.18] And what a gift it is |
[2651.18 --> 2652.18] to be one in Christ. |
[2652.32 --> 2652.54] I mean, |
[2652.76 --> 2653.40] this is sort of |
[2653.40 --> 2654.48] maybe a trivial example |
[2654.48 --> 2655.32] but it's not to me. |
[2655.68 --> 2656.30] I grew up in a, |
[2656.38 --> 2657.34] I love Dutch food. |
[2658.10 --> 2658.70] That's why I make |
[2658.70 --> 2659.16] olibolen |
[2659.16 --> 2660.88] on our front lawn |
[2660.88 --> 2662.10] at New Year's. |
[2662.64 --> 2663.32] But I realized |
[2663.32 --> 2663.94] as I got to know |
