"There is no favouritism with God." (Romans 2:11, NJB) James tells us that favoritism and distinctions between believers is to be avoided. If God does show favoritism, it is for the vulnerable. And when He shows that favoritism, it is often done in a manner that confounds conventional wisdom.
We are called to open ourselves to God’s work in our lives. God wants to heal us of those things that make us less whole as human beings—whether that is our deafness, our bondages, our inability or unwillingness to follow Him.
“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I go to the Father.” (John 14:12, RSV2CE) This is not only a promise; it is also a challenge. Do you believe enough to take on this challenge from Jesus?
