I said that in me there is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female. Can you comprehend how radical a message this was in a slave economy? The political concept of equality grew out of this, and although it was then claimed to be a self-evident truth, it wasn’t self-evident to everyone, and prior to the gospel message wasn’t self-evident to anyone. Can you see how this message would appeal more to the poor and oppressed than to the wealthy and powerful? Yet everyone benefits from the recognition of intrinsic human worth. This is the reality you find in me.
