I am getting ready for work and just heard a commercial for a TV show. One line in particular caught my attention, “He’s a jerk, but he’s also a genius – so it’s okay.” Is it really okay?
Why do we stratify behavior that way? You are really smart and have a prestigious job so you can behave however you want. You are not a genius, didn’t score 800 on your SATs, don’t have a prestigious position so you have to behave differently. How in the world does that make sense?
The birth of Jesus, announced by angels to the shepherds – by angels! These were not the societal cream of the crop. Hanging out with smelly sheep, not considered to be politically or socially acceptable, the birth of Jesus was announced to them! Talk about blowing away the preconceptions of our little minds.
Lord, please don’t let my preconceptions and small mindedness get in your way!
