Value

…but glory, honor, and peace to everyone who works what is good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.  For there is no partiality with God.                                                                   Romans 2:10-11

I was recently speaking with a client about his concerns over the troublesome societal ethic of “value tiering”. His Christian experience compels him, (and all Christians) to regard every human being as made in the image of God, and therefore worthy of respect and dignity. We had a deep discussion of how his soul is hurt when people are devalued, and how he sees that people who devalue others will, and are, devaluing him.  

This is a good reminder for us that God is “no respecter of persons” (Romans 2:11), and that if God values people without respect to culture, race, even belief, how can we do less?

Prayer: Lord, help us to better see people the way you see them, Amen
