First-century Jews disliked Samaritans, but their hostility was even stronger toward Gentiles. Jewish people would not enter the home of a Gentile (whom they considered “unclean dogs”), let alone share a meal with them. In the mind of most faithful Jews, God’s love was for Jews, not Gentiles.
It seems that hatred and racism has been around for a very
long time . There's always someone not getting along with a neighbor , a co-worker , acquaintance or a family member . People have been judging others on whether they are acceptable to be around with or not for centuries .
Imagine being a single young Christian person in this secular world . A young person who believes in waiting until marriage to be intimate with their mate , who doesn't drink or smoke . A young person who wants to proceed into life as a Godly young man or woman . Imagine being laughed at for these beliefs .
I cannot imagine being young again , nor do I want to be . Our children have so much more junk they have to deal with nowadays . I feel for this world . I feel for the young people who have a desire to live a righteous life . I feel for the young men and women that are bullied for being good in a world that rallies for partying and sleeping around .
Instead of supporting them , we roll our eyes at them , jeeringly like there is something wrong with them . Being good is not encouraged nor is it cool .
It's not easy being green . Yet , they keep moving . . . . believing and trusting God to guide their path . To remember them and bestow His Blessings upon them . I'm very proud of these young people .
Have a Blessed day everyone .
