Bible Seeds: Living in these days and time, we think of people in terms of nations and countries. Because of political ideas and the world of the media, we might thinik that people living in these places agree with those who rule their nation. But that is not true!
Just because a ruler is a communist doesn't mean the people suffering under his leadership believe in socialism or communism. Many times they are forced to replace a picture or a cross of Jesus with a picture of the "Great Leader" of that country!
But there are people living under government rules that have a strong faith in God and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. They exist in many places all over the world. And as one body, we Christians are a relatively new ethnicity! We are like the description that John spoke of what he saw in heaven. 'A great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne of God, the head of this body, Jesus His Son and the Holy Spirit'. But we are still on the Earth waiting for the government of Jesus - the thousand year reign and the coming of GOD's New Heaven!
