But now God
has set the members, each one of them, in the body just as He
pleased.
1 Corinthians 12:18
Jesus is certainly not biased. He loves all and sees them through
the eyes of perfect love. He offers eternal life to anyone who
believes on Him. As representatives of Jesus Christ, we should do no
less. We are certainly all different, our looks, our personalities,
etc., and that is exactly how God intended it to be. We are the ones
who have created the separation and boundaries. More times than we
may care to admit, we act like the Pharisees, with a tendency to
ignore or shun those who we have determined “different”. We are all
a part of one body and it has many “different” parts, each one
needed for the entire body to function properly. It is the hand of
God, that is creating the Church of Jesus Christ, not men, and it is
unique indeed, with a mixture of different people, with different
personalities, and cultures. Sure we live our lives differently, but
when we accept Jesus Christ as our friend and Savior, we become one.
It is God’s responsibility to create, and place all the parts where
He chooses, and ours to accept, and love them.
Prayer
Lord you have created all things and created them perfectly for your
pleasure. Forgive us and help us to accept our differences teaching
us to love one another and to accomplish together the tasks you have
placed before us. Let the words we speak match our actions, in the
name of Jesus we ask, Amen.
