God doesn't play favorites. While the Israelites may have been His Chosen People, Jesus, Son of God, died for ALL that ALL may be saved.
While we may be different fro each other in form, colour, and culture, we are all created by Him in His image and likeness. Inside our outward shells, we are "constructed" in the same way and have the same colour of blood running through our veins. yet, there is so much hate around us as people have become wary of "what is different". But different does not equate to danger not should it be a wall to separate us from fellowship with those who differ from us.
We have to look past the physical, and seek the heart of others, just as Christ did when He walked the earth. 1Samuel 16:7, "But the Lord said to Samuel, 'Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as a man sees: man looks on the the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart."
Thank you, Lord, for how clearly You love all! Your salvation through Christ is for all nations because You do not play favorites. You are good and just! Remove from me any bias or prejudice. Help me to always see people the way Jesus did -- through eyes of love.
