Would Jesus be nice to people that are lower then us, poorer then us, maybe not all there, and the called outcast of this world that we wouldn't approve of or want to hang out with?? YES!
Then I don't get it how some people can act like they are to good for these people or don't want to spend time with them as they might be different or they might have to be quiet and have to listen instead of them doing all the talking. I'm not saying we have to like it, but sometimes we have to sacrifice (our talking) to learn to listen to others, even if it's BORING! We need to learn the act of listening more.
How will we win others to Christ if we can't listen or show more love then a," glad you came" and a smile or a quick hand shake, going out the door, to our home, church or wherever we are at, but ignore them the rest of the time.
I have people come to me and tell me they don't think so and so likes them. I would make excuses and say that is just the way they are, don't take it personal. I shouldn't have to say that.
I would rather be with the lower class of people that appreciate things, then some one who thinks, has an air about them or acts they are too good, for some, unless they have prestige or something like it.
I like what Jesus said: Matthew 23:11, But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.12, And whosoever shall exalt himself be be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.. Acts 10:34, Of a truth I perceive that God is not a respecter of persons. Also Galatians chapter 2 is a good chapter to read.
I'm so glad that Jesus loves me and always listens when I call, and I want to be like him, to love everybody. If we act like we love everyone, they just might think we are a Christian, ya think?
