“Can anything good come from Nazareth?” (John 1: 46).
The above statement was the disparaging remarks of the future apostle Nathaniel (Bartholomew) when Philip told him about Jesus. Jesus was very gracious when the two men met face to face. Jesus did not refer to the prejudice. Instead, he complimented Nathaniel: “Here is a true Israelite. There is no duplicity in him.” (John 1: 47).
There are many prejudices in the world: racial, sex, class, those who come from the North against the South, linguistic prejudices, etc.
No matter your situation, there are people out there who believe you are inferior to them. How do you handle such situation?
Think of Jesus encounter with Nathaniel. Be gracious.
