They sing a new song:

"You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, for you were slaughtered and by your blood you ransomed for God saints from every tribe and language and people and nation; you have made them to be a kingdom and priests serving our God, and they will reign on earth."

Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels surround the throne and the living creatures and the elders; they numbered myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands, singing with full voice,

"Worthy is the Lamb that was slaughtered to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing!"

Revelation 5:9-12

In a world where racial differences often lead to separation and conflict, it’s imperative that Christians work for unity and peace. Jesus went to the cross to bring salvation to people of every nation. Our witness and our fellowship must go beyond the barriers that have historically divided the human family. Do we reflect Jesus’ love for all people?

Jesus loves all people,

not just the ones who look like you.
