Zac Poonen - Be Willing to Change Your Opinion About People

Zac Poonen challenges believers to examine their prejudices against people or groups and to remain willing to change their opinions when confronted with evidence that contradicts them. Drawing from the example of Nathaniel, who had contempt for people from Nazareth yet was commended by Jesus for his lack of hypocrisy and willingness to immediately change his mind when convinced, Poonen emphasizes that genuine humility and honesty involve recognizing our sinful judgments and being ready to abandon them. He distinguishes between discernment (necessary for leaders) and prejudice (preconceived categorization), calling believers to see people as Jesus sees them.
