7. Mockery should never be a part of what we do as Christians but empathy should always be. Children that Mocked the prophet Elisha died, Pharisees that mocked Jesus missed their salvation, the thief at the cross who Mocked Jesus never saw paradise, pharaoh who Mocked Moses died in the red sea, Peter rebuked those who Mocked him and other disciples on the day of Pentecost and parents have always taught us never to Mock anyone because of colour, age, physical challenge or speech difficulties. When Sarah was mocked, she chased both Hagar and Ishmael to wonder in the desert.
The list is endless please add yours if youcan.
