James 2: 1-4
1My brothers, as believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ, don't show favoritism. 2Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in shabby clothes also comes in. 3If you show special attention to the man wearing fine clothes and say, "Here's a good seat for you," but say to the poor man, "You stand there" or "Sit on the floor by my feet," 4have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?
My Thoughts:
- Verse 1 : Because we are follower of Christ we are not to show favoritism.
- I think that this is something that we do a lot - think about school - the lunch room - in class.
- When we show favoritism - we make ourselves judge.. this is not out job..
What do you think?
1. Do you think you show favoritism to a kid who has more money or better things?
2. How do you see people putting down people that are poor?
3. What is wrong with showing favoritism?
4. Why do we make lousy judges? (verse 4)
