Which Reminds Me

Roman, Greek, Russian, Coptic, Dutch Reformed — what are these but the invisible Church of Christ, the hands of Jesus extended to minister salvation and healing to all the world. Which of these ethnically constituted churches would kill its own people and thus extinguish its own purpose for existing? But of course we are Protestants so we like to flatter ourselves on having a wider idea of the church as ministering to all ethnicities, not excluding any. Whatever happens in terms of racial strife and conflict, ultimately Jesus wins at the end, although the end is not yet, so why should we trouble ourselves in regards to matters that do not belong to us, matters that are the concern of nations and governments?
