Don't be Foolish!

2 Timothy 2:23-24
23 Don't have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because
you know they produce quarrels. 24 And the Lord's servant must not be
quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful.

You know what's really amazing about Jesus? He always had a strong deal of respect toward others. Every single moment of his life on Earth, he interacted with people and didn't ignore those who opposed him.

There are the judgmental people, those who believe they are superior, and stubborn - that is, there is no way Christ could have any influence about their decisions about whether or not to believe in God. Jesus was a man of his words and never gave up on his teachings. However, he didn't argue with those who didn't accept him. In fact, he forgives our sins and forgives those disobey those who disrespect God. Still, he taught them about God and how he loves. Overall, he treated these people with great respect. One important reminder is that he waited on the cross to die, he prayed for those who were killing him! That had to have been hard to do.

Be sure and be respectful to everyone who interact with. Have a great day!
