And finally… For all those who like to have the quotes from yesterday’s sermon, here they are:

John Stott: [Referring to Galatians 3:28)
“When we say that Christ has abolished these distinctions, we mean not that they do not exist, but that they do not matter.  They are still there, but they no longer create any barriers to fellowship.  We recognise each other as equals, brothers and sisters in Christ.”

John Stott:
“It is marvelous to look back and trace the sequence of the apostle’s teaching.  He paints on a large canvas with bold brush strokes.  Once, he reminds his Gentile readers, you were alienated from God and from his people.  But Christ died to reconcile you to both.  So now you are no longer the aliens you were, but the kingdom over which God rules, the family which he loves and the temple in which he dwells.  More simply still: you were alienated, you have been reconciled, and Christ has brought you home.”
