Do you ever feel threatened when you have to associate with someone who is different than you? Discrimination almost always occurs with people who are of a different race, faith or ethnic background.
Jesus Christ, who was born of Jewish decent, associated with tax collectors and sinners (Luke 19:5-7). He was never disrespectful or unkind to anyone who was not Jewish.
So, let us use Jesus as our example to guide us in liking and disliking others. Discrimination could be basically eliminated if we look at others with respect and love. Remember, "God is love"(I John 4:16) and love is no respecter of persons.
