"Who are those people on your blog page anyway?"


Welcome back to my second blog,

As I took the time to view my first blog which I had set up, my first question was simple, "Who are the people in the picture on the blog?"

My answer is very easy to answer, I have no idea, it came with the template I set up.  What do you expect for a blog which was free with our website purchase? However, for a reasonable fee, I could upgrade and get different pictures. Who knows what I could find for a reasonable cost? Maybe I could find a better looking or more intelligent looking people. (Not to be condescending for the freebies that came with my purchase, I am sure their mothers think they are cute) However, in their defense, they are younger, and most would say, better looking than I am. (My wife might make an argument against that point, but she would be the only one I know of.)

As I thought about this, it came to me, what difference does it make whose picture is on my site, the people on the site are not much different than anyone else. After all people are people, we are not that much different than those on my blog, except their color, age, culture or intelligence my be different, but we are are all, in fact,  just people.

I was watch a TV documentary on the "Harlem Globetrotters" the other night, I found it fascinating to realize when they traveled in the 1940's and 1950's, many of the cities they traveled to, would not allow them  to sleep in certain hotels or motels because they were black. In one Southern State, they had to sleep in the county jail because no motels would allow them to stay at their facilities!

If that was not insulting enough, during this same time, a chimpanzee that had become famous for making TV appearances on various variety shows, was able to stay in a certain hotel but the Globetrotters could not.

Although mankind has the tendency to look down upon other cultures, colors or ages of people.  God does not, He sees everyone equally, He has no favorites because He is impartial to people based upon who they are or where they have come from.

Although mankind has their own reasons & excuses for why they look down upon others, God calls it sin. If we are honest, we can see the affects of sin in regard to how we view others in our world today.

Murder, hate, divorce, theft, wars, which is only a short list of what could be documented.

Yet, God has a great love for mankind, even though many fail to understand or accept His love for them.

Jesus came to save us from the sin we find ourselves under, He lived the perfect, holy and righteous life which we could never live, but Jesus died to take our place, for the sins we continually commit. He alone can reconcile our sins before a righteous and holy God.

2 Corinthians 5:21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

Jesus is willing to take your sins away, if you are willing to accept His righteousness as a gift by faith.


Jesus loved you enough, to die for you, but you must accept what He did personally for you, by asking Him to forgive the sins you have committed and enter into a personal relationship with Him in faith and choose to turn away from what is sinful to God.
