TOPIC: CHRISTIANITY’S ALL-TIME IMPACT

KEY VERSE:
“But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.” - (James 2:9).

READ: James 2:1-9 (KJV)

MESSAGE:
Christianity and its adherents have indisputably been described as humanity’s revolutionary “pioneers for legal equality.” In his seminal study, Real Faith, the American evangelist Mark Driscoll writes: “Christians broke ground on the battle for…equality…The Bible from beginning to end describes God’s heart for the poor and commands His people to be generous (and respectful) toward those who possess little or nothing…Christianity does not allow us to equate net worth with self-worth.”

Apostle James’ inspired dictum on how not to treat the underclass in the Church or society is but a slice of the unequivocal stand of Christ on the matter. As He walked the streets during His ministry, the Lord never contemned the poor or wretched sinner because of their socioeconomic status. He was (still is) their Friend. He brought down all class distinctions and taught His disciples that His Father’s love extends to all humanity, beyond Jewry, religion or politics.

Great changes, movements and reforms over the generations, along with the emergence of landmark constitutions such as that of the United States in 1787, have a heavy and unmistakable infusion of the teachings of Christianity on the equality of all men and women. This attests to the inerrant position of our Lord that He brought a message meant to transform lives for a rancour-free relationship among men, and prepare us for a hereafter of harmonious experience.

The Lord does not expect Christians to wear a partisan or condescending outlook in our assembly or outside it. Christianity has given the world a “royal law” that disavows looking down on the deprived in order to please the rich. James says those who flout such a creed that has benefited humanity are “transgressors.” We do not only need to embrace the law wholeheartedly in the home and in our congregations, we also need to practise it in our workplaces. We must be doers of the Word.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The ripple effects of the advent of Christ are ageless.

THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Ephesians 1-3
