Mark 2 vs 15 - 16
''While Jesus was having dinner at Levi’s house, many tax collectors and sinners were eating with him and his disciples, for there were many who followed him.When the teachers of the law who were Pharisees saw him eating with the sinners and tax collectors, they asked his disciples: “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
Acts 11 vs 26
''And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.''
Even the Messiah sat down and ate dinner with the sinners.the Pharisees wanted Him to treat them they way they deserved, but Jesus said no. He treated them the way He would want to have been treated. He has shown us the way to go, and if only in your mind, you can do the same.
Whether others treat you with kindness and compassion has no bearing on how you treat them. Become the compassion and respect you want to receive. It’s easy for someone to be nasty to you if you’re nasty to them. Don’t give them that chance. Make it hard for people not to see you in the radiant light you portray. Make them work to hate you, disrespect you or be ugly toward you. Make it easy for them to love you, respect you, and see you as the magnificent being you are.
Let's follow the lead of a the master, and thats what being a Christian means(Acts 11 vs 26)
