Healing power for prejudice

At the beginning of the day's morning prayers, traditional Jewish men pray:

Blessed art thou, O Lord our God, King of the universe, who has not created me a woman, a Gentile, or a slave.

Saul of Tarsus probably would have learned this prayer as a boy, and prayed it regularly. Yet in Acts 16 we see him ministering to a woman (Lydia), a slave (the servant girl whose owners used her fortune-telling to gain great wealth for themselves), and a Gentile (the Philippians jailer).

The Gospel had broken his prejudice; he later wrote in Galatians 3:28:

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

That's a mighty Gospel!
