St. Paul got it: "There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male and female; for all of you are one in Christ Jesus" (Ephesians 3:28).

There is no longer Christian or Muslim. There is no longer Buddhist or Hindu. All are one in Christ.

There is no longer conservative or liberal. There is no longer Democrat or Republican. All are one in Christ.

There is no longer gay or straight. There is no longer illegal or legal immigrant. All are one in Christ.

There is no longer us or them.

All are one.
