We are not strangers to one another

For God there are no borders in the world. For Him there is one world.
Therefore it is not right for some one to say that Jesus Christ is a Jew and Christianity is a foreign religion.
In the New Testament of the Bible we start reading at the beginning the genealogy from Abraham to Joseph. But the Bible very clearly tells Mary was conceived of Holy Ghost.
But the genealogy gives us the way God is intervening in the lives of men and women to achieve His purposes. Who is the lady or wife in question, has not been always an important issue for God in His leading of the Israel people. Judah, picked up Thamar, a widowed daughter in law; Boas picked up Ruth an align widowed girl from Moab, David picked up Uriya’s wife. God is able to make use of any man or woman for His purposes. God picked up Mary to bear Jesus Christ in her womb, His anointment only makes any one in the world suitable for His purposes.

All who were born after Adam and Eve are sons and daughters of Men. But Jesus Christ was Son of God and also Jesus Christ was God Himself.
This Jesus Christ can not be called a Jew or foreigner by any one belonging to any country in the world. Jesus Christ belongs to all races in the world. Father of Jesus Christ is not a Jew, but He was existing as God from everlasting to everlasting with the angels. After the fall of the angels who took side with Beelsebab, and got the name Satan and evil Spirits God willed to create man in His image to worship Him.
God created the world for the man and finally the first man Adam and his wife Eve. The genealogy in the Gospel of Luke starts even from the first man Adam, who and his wife Eve fell into the sin of disobedience by falling into the snares of Satan and the sinful nature passed on to all human beings, and all not living according to the will of God but all leading their life on their own will.
Why God is recording the genealogies. If it is possible for every one in the world to write his or her genealogy…your name, son of your father’s name, who was son of your grand father’s name….and so..on ultimately it will reach Noah, and link to Adam. The genealogy recorded by God in the gospel of Mathew and John are to make us think we are also linked upto Adam who was created By God. Therefore we are not strangers to one another. We have a common ancestry.
If as countries, we fight wars we go to destroy our own brothers and sisters. The hatred between the terrorists and their sponsors in Iraq, Afghan and other Arab countries and the Christian countries like USA, UK and the NATO, the ethnic wars in countries like Sri Lanka and the countries which were once under Soviet Union now having many internal conflicts, the innumerable killings in Europe in the name of religion were because all do not know  that we have one God who created us all and we are all a very large family living in this whole world.And we do not have fear of that God who created us that we kill one aother.
All the commandments of God are compressed into two commandments by Lord Jesus Christ, which reads as follows. “Love your Lord God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and all your strength and with all your mind and love your neighbor as you love yourself.” And truly we can link all our sins to these two commandments and we can not commit any sin if we follow these two commandments. You can think of any sin, we break the above commandment the moment we commit any sin.
And the only way we can show our love to God is by worshipping Him all our life in Spirit and Truth. We also show our love towards God is by loving every one in the world with the same love God loves them.
