The similarities:
- The song 'Jesus loves the little children' is mentioned
- Quote from somebody I forgot. It goes ' I love Christianity, I just don't like christians'.
The topic has really woke me up from my slumber. From the video I've watched in Bethany, I learnt that Prejudice and exclusions occurs in many different ways. The video showed a boy whom was under medication and was weird in many ways. His classmates in school excluded him in every activities, made fun of him and even jeered at a Christian who brought him to his youth group. It's only in the youth meetings that he was belonged. The youth pastor said one thing that really struck me. He said that the boy was no diffrent form us. He just don't know how to hide his feelings and weirdness while we, who claimed that we're 'normal' are better in hiding ourselves. A girl whom the weird boy had a crush on said something which I agreed. She said that 'Some people seemed like they are worth making friends with but they are actually not. Some people seemed like they aren't worth making friends are actually worth making friends with.' Another kind of prejudice could come from racism. The video also showed a man singing the song Jesus loves the little children and the producer of his album actually told him to change the lyrics 'Red and yellow black and white' to 'white and white white and white'. Hmm...weird...
Today's sermon Pastor James shared about how Mahatma Ghandi was excluded by the ushers in a church in England. The ushers refused to get him a seat and told him to worship in another place with his own people. If only the usher didn't exlcude him from the worship, India today might be a christian country.
It's going to be hard for me to learn to accept people who different from me. But I believe that God will give the me strength to do it because I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength!
