The Roman church was made up of Jews and Gentiles, rich and poor, slaves and free people, strong and weak in faith, so people had difficulty accepting one another due to differences and biases. Christ, however, received all and served all. We, as followers of Jesus Christ, must follow his example and do the same. We are to receive each other with our differences. Accepting means sharing food and activities with others, avoiding racial and economic discrimination, and welcoming people into our homes as well as into our hearts. Even though we may differ in opinions about many small matters, it is undeniable that we are all servants and children of God Almighty. As Christ has received us all with our imperfections to promote the glory of God, so should we treat each other in a similar manner for the same purpose. Let's be the unifying power within the body of Christ and accept one another despite of our differences. Let's join together in glorifying the God and Father of Christ for what He has done!
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for accepting us as who we are despite our imperfections. Help us tear down any wall that divides Your people based on race, culture, or financial status. Teach us to love each other in the way You do. Thank You for Your unconditional love and mercy. Help me always act with Your love in my heart and show Your glory in everything I do! In Jesus's name I pray. Amen.

And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
