March 5: Impartial- Mark 12:14
“Teacher,” they said, “we know how honest you are. You are impartial and don’t play favorites.”
How often do we see favoritism and partiality played out around us every single day. This seems to be such a childish behavior, something that happens on the playground but no. Who did our kids learn it from? They learned it by watching the “adults” around them.
As a Chrisitian, a follower of Jesus, we are given the example that we do not play favorites. Jesus was impartial to the people around him. We probably could even take it a step further and say he went out of his way to do more for the less fortunate then those who had any form of power or positiion.
This weekend be aware of how you respond to the people around you. Ask yourself who do you tend to be drawn to more, those who can do something for you or those you can do something for?
