The Daily Dig (Ephesians 6:1-9) “There is no favoritism with Him” [God the Father, Son, and Spirit]. The fact that all Christians serve the same Master seems to have fallen on deaf ears to some. We still have believers who show favoritism and act like they are the master in many of our churches. If the goal of Discipleship is Christlikeness, then we have dropped the ball. Churches as diverse as the Asian churches would have understood the call to unity amidst diversity. A church that lacks generational, artistic, musical, racial, social, and gender diversity is missing out on all the blessings God’s people bring to one another. When I was single and living alone, my cat didn’t seem to mind eating the same thing every day. A child can stay alive on pizza, but we all know that isn’t what’s best for them to eat everyday. As a matter of fact they miss out on so many wonderfully interesting things to taste. Those of us in authority (“fathers and masters”) need to be reminded that leadership according to Jesus is to serve all. That means decisions that benefit ALL. God shows no favoritism.
