Treat All Equal

Verses: James 2 : 1 - 13

My thoughts about the verses:

Many of us have a hard time treating all people the same.  We judge people by the way they look.  We judge people that act differently from us.  We judge people on who they love.  We judge people on how much money they make.  We judge people a lot more often than we ever want to admit.  True?

See it is easy to fall into the trap of judging people.  We want our way of living to be the right way.  We want our ideas to be the best way.  We want to think that we are on the top looking down.  Seeing the world and overcoming it.  Is This The Right Way To Think?

Jesus is the only True Judge that Lived on this Earth.  Jesus didn’t die for this group of people or that group of people.  Jesus didn’t teach us to love only this group or that group of people.  Jesus taught us to love all people the same.  Jesus died so all could have everlasting life.

With this in mind let us look at how we treat others.  We need to treat people with respect.  We need to show people that they are just as valuable as we are.  Instead of treating people differently, we need to show them love and compassion.  We need to take every opportunity we have to treat people as we want to be treated.

Jesus sets the example that we must follow.  As Christians we need to embrace this example and exhibit it in our daily life.  We need to reach out to those that society has rejected and show them love.  We need to treat all people with respect.  We need to show people that they are loved just the way they are.

Prayer:

We love you God.  We praise you God.  We thank you Jesus for your love.  We thank you for being there for us all the time.  Help us show others love.  Help us not to judge others.  In the Name of Love we pray.  Amen

Questions:

Have you judged others not to be worthy enough to be loved by God?  Have you accepted Jesus as your Savior?  Are you willing to step outside your comfort zone and show love to the world?
