How do you do at accepting others who look, behave, or think differently than you do? It is not easy, is it? We tend to distrust or misunderstand those who are different from us. We assume we know what they are thinking and what their motivations are. We are told to accept one another, just as Christ accepted us. Christ’s behavior puts this command in a new light. He accepts us just as we are. He understands us completely because He made us. If you are tempted to reject someone, instead spend time getting to know them. Glorify Jesus as He shows you how to accept them as He has accepted you.
