Today in our Christian Union, I asked the kids to draw me a Christian. The responses we got were interesting to say the least…
In the Bible, no one is excluded by Jesus. Jesus goes to see lepers (Matthew 8 and Luke 17:11) who were excluded by society. Jesus spoke to them and healed them because he didn’t care about disease or any social barrier.
Throughout the bible, people who were used by God had several problems too! I mean
Noah was a drunk
Abraham was too old
Isaac was a daydreamer
Jacob was a liar
Leah was ugly
Joseph was abused
Moses has a stuttering problem
Samson has long hair and was a womanizer
Rahab was a prostitute
Jeremiah and Timothy were too young
David has an affair and was a murderer
Isaiah preached naked
Jonah ran from God
Peter denied Christ
The Disciples fell asleep while praying
Zaccheus was too small
Paul was too religious
Lazarus was dead!

The most used verse from the Bible is John 3:16
"For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life"
It’s important to remember that this verse says whoever, not only those with white or black skin, or only those of a certain sexual orientation.
In John 7:24 Jesus says “Stop judging by mere appearances, but instead judge correctly”
As Christians, we should aim to follow in the footsteps of Jesus. Following these teachings are a way to start.
