JOHN 17: 20-26
ON JUDGING OTHERS
“John was clothed
with camel's hair, and had a leather girdle around his waist, and ate locusts
and wild honey.” Mark 1:6 (NIV)
I just don't
understand how Elizabeth and Zachariah could let that boy grow up so wild. Of course, I'm not sure Zachariah had much to
say about it! And he's nothing up
against that cousin of his, that Jesus...well, you don't expect much to come
out of Nazareth, but, honestly...keeping company with foreigners and tax
collectors and that woman from Magdala!
I can tell you that
both of those boys are going to come to a bad end!
Yep!
Lord, keep us from
judging others on the basis of what just may not be the criteria You have in
mind. Keep us open and receptive to all
Your children, remembering that EVERY face we see may truly be Your image.
Amen.
