There are many different people represented here. Men, women, girls, boys, fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, husbands, wives, bosses, employees. In the world, there is a pecking order and men lord it over one another. But not so in Jesus Christ. God is no respecter of persons.
All who are called by His name through the shed blood of Jesus Christ are made partakers of the benefits of Christ in the outpouring of His Holy Spirit, and are recipients of special favor with God, the Father. Such men, women and children have access to God, even into the Holy of Holies. All barriers to God have been taken down and there is not favor bestowed as Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male or female, but only as children of the Most High, joint heirs with Jesus Christ. He is the only one who can truly unite us in our differences. In Christ Jesus, and only in Christ Jesus, are we are one family of God.
