Last Sunday a family I did not recognize came into the pew ahead of us at Church. They were smiling, pleasant, well dressed. After a few minutes of settling in ,the little boy-maybe age 6- turned to his dad and pointed to the statue of Jesus at the altar. "That's the same Guy we have at our church, isn't it? ...He's in different colored clothes but it's the same Guy!" he said excitedly.
His dad assured him it was the "same Guy" and the child sat quietly and pondered that.. I wondered what he had been taught about differing religions, different denominations.
Out of the mouths of babes---"It's the same Guy."
Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could all come to the awareness that it is the "same Guy" and quit our bickering over who has the right God, who has the right interpretations? What time and money could be saved and spent on taking care of God's kingdom and God's people.
Blessings-Penny
