One of the great privileges in my life is having friends from different parts of the world belonging to different generations. Growing up in India, I got friends from different religions and states. The trend continued as I aged. With the advancement of social media, it is easier to maintain friendships. From this experience, I can say that the gap between different generations, cultures, and ethnicities is real. As children of God, we are called to bridge these gaps to advance the kingdom of God.
Apostle Paul gives some insights on this aspect in 1 Corinthians 9:19-23. The following words from Paul need no explanation. “For though I am free from all, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win more of them. To the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews. To those under the law I became as one under the law (though not being myself under the law) that I might win those under the law. To those outside the law I became as one outside the law (not being outside the law of God but under the law of Christ) that I might win those outside the law. To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some. I do it all for the sake of the gospel, that I may share with them in its blessings.” Yes, we are called to bridge the gaps! We are called to share the love of Christ despite the difference in culture, age, and ethnicity.
I pray this edition of EGM Times will challenge you to Bridge the Gaps around you. You can reach the EGM Times team at egmtimes@elohimgospelministries.com
God bless you.
