A
person is not what they do. The value of a person is not the things
they do to put food on their table, clothes on their back and a roof
over their head. What one does, one's career/job is "valued"
by supply and demand, and is changeable by fashion, need for the
skill, the number of people who can do it and technology. Also, one
can change one's career. Who would think a career change changed a
person's value?! None of those affect the value of a person. Indeed,
no man or woman can determine or change the value of any person. Only
God can do that, did that. The value of a person - famous or obscure,
powerful or master of none, genius or mentally handicapped - is, as
trite as it sounds, Jesus. God set the value of each person at His
Own Son. Maybe we should remember that when we look on another of
less prestigious calling or glamorous appearance! Or when we reflect
on our own value.
