God is not Partial

Just hours after his reported death from cardiac arrest today, the stories about Michael Jackson are flying out of all media outlets, blogs, gossip pages, Facebook and countless other sources.


Among my Christian friends is the common reaction that God is not partial to anyone apart from His Son Jesus Christ. There is no doubt that Michael Jackson made a tremendous impact in the secular pop music world. We can only hope that he at some point set his eyes on the Savior and the world to come.


“Opening his mouth, Peter said: ‘I most certainly understand now that God is not one to show partiality, but in every nation the man who fears Him and does what is right is welcomed by Him.’” (Acts 10:34-35)


Christian Hip-Hop artist Shai Linne has a song and video that pointedly reminds us of the inevitable….and of the hope in Jesus Christ not because of our fame, riches or accomplishments, but because His kind grace alone.
