Acts 17:26 … All nations – one Blood (12/23/16)
“God hath made of one blood all the nations of men.”
~ Luke (Acts 17:26)
Keep in mind that Jesus is here once again referencing Humanity’s innate Oneness (with “nations” alluding to all of humanity – the 70 “nations” mentioned in Genesis 10 that Jesus also alluded to in his “forgive 70 times 7 times” admonition of Matthew 8:21-22) … In essence, with this verse he is in-Courage-ing us all to treat even our vilest of enemies as our most beloved of Friends (see Matthew 5:40-44 & Luke 10:29-37 et al) … And note as well that he is doing so not only by mentioning our innate bond of being members of humanity’s single collective of “nations”, but also by mentioning our common bond of “one blood”; the same “blood” that he often mentioned to refer to the selfless Love that resides in all our sentient Souls (see Matthew 26:27-28, John 6:53-57, Hebrews 9:12-14, 1 John 5:6 et al) – the single, human bloodline that binds us all into one Great Family, and the “one blood” that ever calls for us to act accordingly.
Amen … Let it be so.
