Comment: in those days it was common for the Jews to treat the Samaritans with contempt, but the Lord Jesus, even though a Jew, never looked down on anyone nor descended low to such divisive categorizations. He related normally with the Samaritans and even spent a couple of days preaching the gospel to them consequent upon which many of them believed and became his disciples. – John 4:1-43.
It should be noted that God never told the Jews to regard non-Jews as outcasts or to subject them to inhuman treatment. Rather, those who accepted to serve God wholeheartedly were subject to the same laws as the Jews. “One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you.” – Exodus 12:49. See also Leviticus 19:34.
Because of the liberal conditions with which the non-Jews lived in Israel, some of them who were faithful to God rose to positions of honour like Ruth, the Moabitess, who became the great-grandmother of Jesus Christ. We should be practical Christians who do not follow traditions of men that are incompatible with the Scriptures. No true Christian should despise his or her fellow human being due to circumstances of birth, over which one has no control. – Matthew 15:7-9; 1 Timothy 4:7; Titus 1:14.
