As the child began his first day of school, he nervously turned to his mother and asked, “How do I make new friends?” His mother looked down at her son and offered him this advice: “Be Switzerland.”
She went on to explain to her young son how Switzerland is a neutral country and encouraged her son to be friends with everyone and to treat all the other students equally.
In James 2, we are reminded that “if you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself,’ you are doing right. But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreakers.”
As Christians, we can do a lot worse than by starting off following the mother’s advice to “Be Switzerland.” But we can’t stop there. We are called to be Jesus to the people we meet, not only by treating them fairly, but by putting aside our wants and desires in order to serve others. Take the lead this week, by being a servant.
