God Speaks French....et al...

It is good for us to be reminded that God's native language is not English. I'm convinced that there are actually people here in the U.S. who think that God celebrates the 4th of July, when the only country God really favors is Israel. And graciously, the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ is open to people of every nation, tribe and tongue! I don't know what language we'll use in the new heavens and new earth, but I'm pretty sure a lot of us will be in for a refreshing dose of diversity on that day!

And they sang a new song, saying,
"Worthy are you to take the scroll
and to open its seals,
for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God
from every tribe and language and people and nation,
and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God,
and they shall reign on the earth."
Revelation 5:9,10
