Can you spot the difference?

Growing up the only upside of going to the dentist office was the Highlights magazines they had in the waiting room. One of my favorite features of the magazine was the Can You Spot the Difference? feature. You were given two pictures with a dozen differences in the two pictures and the fun was trying in to find all the differences. Some were easy, others were a real challenge. Much like the first century, our society is full of diverse expressions of spirituality. Some might say there it doesn’t matter as long as it makes you feel better. But the Apostle Paul disagrees. He offers three sets of pictures to help first century Christians and us today see that the gospel stands apart as the only way to find peace and life.
