I hear people say, "I am so glad I am of this denomination or that denomination." When I hear them lifting up their church I cringe as the Lord said, "If I be lifted up I will draw all men."
I have been reading Corinthians and was reminded of the scripture in 1 Cor. 1: 11-13 - "My brothers some from Chloe's household have informed me that there are quarrels among you. What I mean is this: One of you says, "I follow Paul"; another "I follow Apollos"; another, "I follow Cephas"; still another, "I follow Christ." Is Christ divided?
This the Easter Season and we are remembering Christ and the suffering and the price He paid for our salvation. It is a reminder that we all must come to the foot of the cross and ask forgiveness and that no one is better than another. It is He who leads and guides us through life in the experience of growing in Him.
If I say I am of this church or that church it does not mean a thing in the Kingdom of God. It is that I am born again and the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses me from all my sin and that makes you my sister or brother no matter what denomination you are from if You have asked Jesus Christ into your heart.
Let us remember His triumphal entry into Jerusalem that begins the Easter season.
John 12:12-13. The next day the great crowd that had come for the Feast heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem. They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting, "Hosanna!" Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!" Blessed is the King of Israel!"
