For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many."
Mark 10:45
But Ruth replied, "Don't ask me to leave you and turn back. Wherever you go, I will go; wherever you live, I will live. Your people will be my people, and your God will be my God.
Ruth 1:16
There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Galatians 3:28
Christ Jesus, we see the words of scripture that read there is no longer Jew or Greek, slave or free, male or female. We confess there is racism in our lives when we choose to ignore the racial inequality in our criminal justice system. Give us the heart of Ruth, that we would be adamant that all people are our people, because they are first yours. Amen.
