As the old saying goes, "A picture speaks a thousand
words". But this Norman Rockwell painting is equivalent
to perhaps a million words of conviction to the modern church.
The family of God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ is composed
of people from every nation and tongue. Therefore our churches
(His called out children - ekklesia) should prove it to the world.
The love and wisdom of our Father is more than sufficient to overcome
the "natural" human tendency toward segregation, but
we must be willing to submit to His will and actively build effective
bridges for His glory.
