In one of his most famous speeches, Dr. Martin Luther King longed for his children to grow up in a world where they would be judged “not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character” (source).It’s indeed a sad commentary on today’s society, that over four decades after these infamous words were spoken, we still do not yet live in such a world, although we have made considerable progress. Dr. King’s death should cause us to reflect upon the way that we as human beings regard one another, as opposed to the way God regards us. It’s unfortunate, but as frail human beings, we are prone to assess one another on the basis of any outward characteristic we can see — not just in terms of skin color.
