daily word - equal?

Do you believe in equality? This is a political concept that is more widely proclaimed than it is understood. Equality normally means the same, but people are not the same, nor are they meant to be. So in what sense are they equal? Do you have children? Are they the same? Yet don’t you have the same love for all of them and on that basis love them equally and treat them equally? And in this sense they are equal even though they are different. The political concept of equality may be entirely secular, but can you make a case for it apart from a sovereign God who is over all?
