Held in Contempt

Here's a thought that occurred to me:

Saints seldom sneer.

Forgive the alliteration, but what I mean is that of all the expressions Christians wear, a sneer is not usually one of them. Christians smile and frown. They laugh and weep. They even get angry. But a Christ-follower would almost never glare with contempt and disdain. Anything that ought to make a regular person sneer ought to make a Christian sigh with pity.

If a Christian sneers they are not loving their neighbor or loving their enemy. They are hypocrites who forget that they have been forgiven of grievious things and stand only by grace.
