CategoriesSummary"Fully Devoted, Fully Engaged Christ-Follower: No Partiality!" - James 2:1-13 2 Sermons in 1: I)The Problem of Partiality in the Church II)The Saving Impartiality of Christ I)The Problem of Partiality in the Church Preference - "The setting of one thing before another, higher estimation..."(Webster's). Partiality - "Inclination to favor one party, or one side of a question, more than the other; undue bias of mind"(Webster's). When it comes to people, partiality is not good, especially within the Church. Partiality is sin! James 2:1 - "James wrote to a very 'partial' age, filled with prejudice and hatred based on class, ethnicity, nationality, and religious background" (David Gudzik). Vs2-7: An example of sinful partiality - "The fault of one who, when called on to give judgment, has respect for the outward circumstances of man and not for the intrinsic merits, and so prefers, as the more worthy, one who is rich, high born, or powerful, to another who does not have these qualities" (Strong's). "Sit down at my feet" - "to make one a footstool; to subject, reduce under one's power - taken from the practice of conquerors who placed their feet on the necks of their conquered enemies" (Strong's). "Man's partiality rarely agrees with God's heart" (Gudzik) Vs8-12 - Partiality is sin! If guilty of one, guilty of all. We're called to love. Love knows no class or stature, and shows no partiality. We're called to mercy. The lack of mercy, seen in the sin of partiality, reveals a heart without Christ. II)The Saving Impartiality of Christ Jesus put away partiality - Mark 3:35, Acts 10:34-35, Col. 3:11 Equal footing on the path of sin - no rich or poor; all are guilty, spiritual paupers. Everyone needs a Savior! Equal footing at the cross - no rich or poor, all in Christ are rich beyond measure. Whosoever will may come! Judgment is very real, but mercy triumphed over judgment at the cross/in Christ, in that both were satisfied. In Christ, we who deserve judgment receive mercy. Therefore, we should treat others the same: with mercy, without partiality, except to give preference to others over ourselves. Remembering what Christ has done for us, fully devoted, fully engaged Christ-followers show no partiality, but rather love as we have been loved, forgive as we have been forgiven, and give preference to others over ourselves. |
