PEOPLE ARE INDIVIDUALS
Esther 3:6
"But he [Haman] disdained to lay hands on Mordecai alone, for they had told him of the people of Mordecai. Instead, Haman sought to destroy all the Jews who were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus – the people of Mordecai."
It is so easy to lump people together rather than treat them as individuals – those Democrats, or those blacks, or those Methodists, or the poor. I remember a question posed by a student in a seminary class just after the fall of several noted television evangelists: "What do we do with those Pentecostals?". Our sense of justice and fairness is violated when we are punished because we are a part of a certain group. Yet we do it all the time. God, help me to see not just a world of sinners, but individuals who need Jesus.
Today's Thought: We are individual people – not just a part of the masses.
Have a discerning day. Love you.
