Western society has recently become sensitive to discrimination based on race, nationality, sex, age, appearance, etc. However, discrimination is not new. In fact, James 2:1-13 focuses on the contradiction between having faith in Jesus and treating other people with partiality based on their status. It turns out that the antidote for such partiality is God’s mercy.
God’s creation shows forth his majesty and the majesty of humanity and of the Son of Man.
In response to Habakkuk’s raw complaint, God announced that he would do something wonderful, astounding, and hard-to-believe.
Jesus demonstrated true greatness by taking the place of a servant in his life and in his death.
