What is prejudice?

The root words refer to pre-judging someone or some event. In James Chapter 2, Jesus half-brother refers to a common man entering a church in ragged clothes. The tendency is to give more attention and honor to the man who comes in wearing designer jeans and a Boss shirt. But God knows the heart of each of those people. We don’t. So before we display our prejudice toward someone because of some superficial aspect, remember to display the most important commandment – to love the Lord will all our heart, mind and soul and also to love our neighbor as ourselves.
