Have you ever looked down on someone because they were different than you? Have you ever prejudged someone before you really got to know them? Have you ever thought that you were better than someone because of your status in life? Or maybe you looked down on someone because they came from the wrong side of the tracks or from the wrong neighborhood. Or maybe you decided to not engage and talk with someone because their perspective and worldview in life was drastically different than yours.

Today, we live in a time where the church has become divided. We’ve allowed our preferences and our rationalizations to supercede what the Word of God says as it pertains to how we are to treat others. Over time, we’ve allowed secular ideologies and cultural world views to contaminate our thoughts – allowing human logic to reign above divine inspiration and truth.

As believers, we are confronted to provide an answer to the question “Who do we say Jesus Christ is”. This question is a question of our faith, our resolve and ultimate dependency upon Him. It is a measuring stick of our intimacy with Him and our willingness to allow Him to do what He desires to do in and through our life.
