How We Look At Each Other

Matthew 5 gives an account of when Yeshua addressed a large crowd of people on the Mount of Beatitudes. He proclaimed:
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.”
He spoke of the motivation of the heart, how not to look to the things of this earth but to heavenly things. Yeshua is an embodiment of this heart attitude.
He walked among us, fully man and fully God, yet He acknowledged the worth of each person, viewing everyone without condescension. He encouraged those who recognized their own need, while rebuking those who were puffed up with pride and self-accomplishment.
He still looks upon the heart of each person, not on their outward appearance. God does not play favorites. He is not biased toward poor or rich, young or old, man or woman, tall or short, dark or light.
We need to live on this earth without looking down on anyone, but instead seeing the value of all as Yeshua did. We need to see each other with His eyes – filled with love and compassion for all mankind.
