Jesus stretched his hand to touch the man. “I do want to”, he answered, “Be clean!” (Luke 5:13)

Jesus' miracles are not merely a proof of His godliness. It is also a proof of His love. He did not perform miracles for only certain people. He worked wonders in people from all walks of life. He healed the sick, He drove demons away, He cured the lepers, He saved a prostitute, He opened eyes of the blinds. He never chose Whom He will cure. He cared for those whom the society rejected.

We human tend to value others based on our judgment. When we look at the economic status, we look at the rich and the poor. When we look at the health condition, we look at the healthy and the sick. When we look at the physique, we look at the beauty and the ugly. When we look at the education level, we look at the literati and the illiterate. So many judgmental views that our society is grouped by those shallow categories.

But, God never sees human as we see them. In God's eyes everyone is equal. When God sees the sin, He looks at the lost; none of us is pure. When God sees the attitude, God sees the rebel; none of us is forever faithful. When God sees us, He sees sinners who need help. So He came to help, regarding all those barriers we human had set. He broke all those barriers and brought us into unity. Now, God only sees us as the believer, the saved, and the forgiven, OR, the unbeliever, the rebel, and the doomed. Which one are you?

We have no right of discriminating others. If God the Creator loves everyone, what right do we have to differentiate anyone? What God has set to be equal cannot be varied. What God loves, we as His followers must also love. “For those things that you have done for the least among you, you have done it to me”, Jesus said.
