“For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.”
Romans 10:12
Grace is God’s great levelling ground. We may have built distinctions of background, tribe, status, and history, but God looks beyond those things and brings every one of us to the foot of the Cross, where only one thing matters: that we call on the Lord.
In Acts 10, Peter walked into the house of Cornelius—a Gentile, a Roman officer, someone he was raised to avoid. Yet in that moment, Peter witnessed something that shattered every boundary he knew: the Holy Spirit fell upon Cornelius and his household just as He had on the Jews at Pentecost. Peter’s conclusion was simple and eternal: “Now I truly understand that God shows no partiality.”
The message of grace is void of favourites, exclusions, or barriers. The same Lord who saved Paul the persecutor also saved the thief on the cross. The same Jesus who welcomed Zacchaeus also restored Mary Magdalene. Grace treats no one as beyond reach and no one as more deserving. No more, no less. Simply equal ground of grace. No matter your past or pedigree, the door of grace stands equally open.
Charge: God’s table has no “special seats,” only open ones.

Come boldly. And as you come, extend that same grace to others.
