When I saw the title in this together, I started singing "We’re all in this together" from the Disney movie “High School Musical”. If you are not familiar with the movie, you have a classical Disney love story, but the catch is, you have different “groups” throughout the school that don't get along. Troy Bolton, the superstar basketball player and coach's son falls for Gabriella Montez who is 1. The new kid on the block, 2. is far from athletic. Long story short at the end of the movie they come together as one and realize that they can do so much more working together than separately.
Paul is writing to Galatia to remind them when we put our faith in Christ we became Children of God. We are no longer are Jew or Gentile, slave or free. We are one body of believers in Christ Jesus. Paul was encouraging believers not to hold onto their identity of the world, but to come together as brothers and sisters of Christ to see the Gospel go farther! So, the question is, are you in this together with other believers? Let’s take it a step closer to home, Are you in this together as a family? I remember sitting down with Sarah when the church approached me about going into the ministry full time. I told her that this was not about just me, but it was for the family. Now that we have Paisley, she is now a part of the ministry. Let us come together as families and see the Gospel go to places we never could imagine. Let us not limit each other but see each other grow.
