Prowritershub-w7:Dont judge a book by its cover.

Sometimes in life we look down on people because of their look. For example you see a young Man walk into your company and demand to buy some of your products that worth millions of dollars but looking at his appearance, he is not up to $10. There is that tendency to tell him you don't have it or ask him if he is sure if what he is asking. It has happened is so many places and such people who judge book by its cover lost huge amount of money or favour. In a story i am going to share with you now is exactly what happened to Acient Isreal and many of them lost God's favour.

This is story of a young Man who is to liberate a nation but his look and background was quite different from it. The nation Isreal was expecting a great Man full of energy from a well known family but the reality was the opposite. Instead of him Jesus coming from a well known family, he came from lowly family. At his birth, his parents offered little dove on the cleansing day to show that they were not rich. His father beast a carpenter and the leaders even mock him by saying, is this not the Son of Joseph the carpenter?

On the day he read a prophecy by Isaiah that God has sent him to heal the sick, open the eyes of the blind and comfort the meal once, they looked at him as someone who do not understand what he was saying. They were busy waiting for the right savior to come. He started his peaching and said God's kingdom is in there must yet they were not satisfied to the point that many came asking if he is the savior that they waiting for.

Jesus performed so many miracles yet they did not put faith in him rather they accused him of doing those powerful work with the power of the demons. The scripture showed that his dressing was not different from that of his disciples so people find it difficult to different him from them onles they ask question.

On one occasion, he opened the eyes of a Man born blind and the pharisees opposed his work because they don't believe that some one from lowly family like Jesus is doing all that. This is because h did not appear rich. He associated with the poor and the meal. This worsen the whole situation.

Because he was close to Mary Magdalene who was ones a prostitute. They said, if truly this Man is from God, he would have known who Mary Magdalene is. They accuse him of being a drunkard, yet he was busy doing the work his father ask him to do. The day he.sat on the donkey as the promise messiah, people celebrated him as the king but these pharisees were blind to recognize him because they were judging the book by its cover.

They lost completely the favor of God, the blessings of everlasting life. The hope of resurrection. The privilege of being God's Son. They lost the privilege they had in the nation because as Jesus said, Their city was completely destroyed by their enemy nation. All those who trust and believe him recieved that hope of everlasting life in heaven and on earth.

• It is not good to conclude that someone is wicked when he has not done you anything wrong just because of his face.

• Do not insult your client because he or she did not dress well.

• Do not tell your student, you will not make it because he doesn't look intelligent.

• Get to know someone or something very well before y speak abusively if it.

I have a friend called mummy Chibuike but her real name is Esther. She does not smile. Her is always tight and fearful. She always look straight when she is going to the market and doesn't greet anyone. People said a lot of things about her and one day I decided to greet her when she was passing my shop. She responded and I asked her to buy things for me on her way back.

To my surprise she bought things for me and invited me to her house. When I went, she asked me why I greeted her and asked her to buy something for me. I told her that i want to to out a smile on her face.

She said, I am not wicked ooo but my face scar people from me but anyone who tries to come close to me is loved by me.

It started like that until I came to know her very well. She Introduced her mother in-law to me and gradually, i became their family friend. Mummy Chibuike became my friend and many people came to know me through her.

From my first story about Jesus and the nation of Isreal and my personal experience about Mummy Chibuike is a clear evidence that we should not judge book by its cover.
