“"An Equal Opportunity Savior"”

Thoughts for Today:

One of the richest men I know, has his own jet. He uses it to fly everywhere. One day he flew from Los Angeles to Paris for lunch, New York City for a dinner meeting, and then back home. But he is destined to perish because he doesn't know Jesus. I also know a man who is homeless. He survives on handouts from strangers and never knows from where his next meal might come. He too will perish because he doesn't know Jesus.

In our passage today, Paul says: "We regard no one from a worldly point of view." What does he mean? Simply that he does not evaluate anyone based on race, sex, family history, social/economic standing, etc. Only one thing matters: Do they know Christ? As far as God is concerned, every member of humanity is on the same level. We are all sinners and destined for destruction without the blood of Jesus to wash away our sin. Christ died for the billionaire, and He died for the homeless man. He is the ultimate "Equal Opportunity" Savior. And none of us survives without Him.

Questions to Ponder:

Do you give special treatment to those with greater financial resources than those who have not? James warned of this in his Epistle (see James 2:1-7).
