My Daily Meditation For The Circling Year by John Henry Jowett

MAY The Twenty-sixth THE UNITING OF SUNDERED PEOPLES

|On the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.| -- ACTS x.34-48.

And this is ever the issue of a true outpouring of the Spirit: sundered peoples become one. At |low tide| there are multitudes of separated pools along the shore: at |high tide| they flow together, and the little distinctions are lost in a splendid union.

It is so racially. |Jew and Gentile!| Peter and Cornelius lose their prejudices in the emancipating ministry of the Spirit. And so shall it be with English and Irish, with French and German, with Asiatic and European: they shall be |all one| in Christ.

It is so socially. |Bond and free!| The master and the servant shall discover a glorious intimacy and union. And so shall rich and poor, the learned and the illiterate, the many-talented and the obscure. The pools shall flow together.

It is so ecclesiastically. Our sectarianisms are always most frowning and obtrusive when spiritually we are at |low tide.| When the tide rises, it is amazing how the ramparts are submerged. It is not round-table conferences that we need, but seasons of communion when together we shall await the outpouring of the Holy Ghost.
