The list goes on of how throughout Scripture the Lord SAW people who were the outcasts, different, insignificant, or outside of the culture of the Messiah. Often times he SAW people while religious leaders continued to ignore and silence them. Any church or organization that claims to have a Biblical worldVIEW and centers one race, country or ethnicity, while ignoring and silencing ANY human being does not really have a Biblical WorldVIEW. The Christian faith is all about seeing people, loving people, hearing people, healing people and this SEEING is without condition. It is not up to us to judge and reject people. We are simply called to be a reflection of the Messiah’s love for humanity. We boldly declare His Word and Biblical standard so the World is clear of who we are, but unconditional love should always be at the foundation. So let us open our eyes to SEE one another as Christ SAW our sinful souls and STILL gave His life for us.
