We all know that appearances can be deceiving. Just by looking at someone walking down the street, it does not tell you anythging about that person's level of wealth or educational level. In fact, if you made a quick guess, you might be on the wrong side of the spectrum!
My message this Sunday is based on Scripture which gives us a lens in which we can look at other people...and we don't have to worry about making a judgment based on appearances. The apostle Paul wrote: "From now on, therefore, we regard no one from a human point of view; even though we once knew Christ from a human point of view, we know him no longer in that way. So if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new!" 2 Corinthians 5:16-17
By looking at others through the lens of Christ, we can see others in a way different from the world. We can have compassion, where the world lacks compassion; we can give attention to the least in our society, where the world would ignore them.
Everything changes through one's faith in Christ. I would ask you to reflect on these words of Scripture for Sunday's worship and contemplate on how Christ changes one's point of view. The entire Scripture passage is 2 Corinthians 5:6-17. May God's blessing be upon your contemplation and worship!
