Romans 15:7–"Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God."
Let me begin with this: Christ did not need to welcome us into His presence. In fact, it could be argued that we didn't deserve was for Christ to accept and welcome us into relationship with Him. But this is precisely what He did; He overlooked our unlovability in order to make us lovable. At the very least, this means that we will overlook offensiveness, overlook differences, overlook that which separates, and all this for the purpose of joining in relationship for the glory of God.
As we look to Christ as our example, let us strive to welcome one another into relationship as He has welcomed us.
