Why do we treat people differently. Is it because of the clothes they are wearing? Are they well known or famous? Are they powerful or rich? Remember that Jesus died for the famous, the rich, the powerful, the poor, the unknown and the weak.
We can respect and honor the office of authority. But the person that holds the office should receive no special treatment.
But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.
James 2:9 KJV
