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.
John’s birth and Zechariah’s prophecy pointed to the greatest manifestation of God’s mercy ever.
Timothy and Epaphroditus demonstrated the mind of Christ in the way they lived.
Although God gave humanity up to our sins, he also gave up his Son for our sins.
