Favoritism
8 “If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, “Love your neighbor as yourself,”you are doing right. 9 But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreakers.”;
While studying James, chapter 2, one can read about the way that favoritism should be viewed, and while I was studying this it very much impressed on me how horrendously wrong discrimination is; and how both favoritism and discrimination are a manifestation of our lack of humility to God, his will, and our fellow man.
I don’t just mean against any one of the typical groups that is stereotypically discriminated against, I mean against the kid at the drive thru window, the person in the car beside you in traffic, the person pulled over on the side of the road broken down.
Matthew 25:40 (NIV)
40 “The King will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.’
