 Serendipitous Thoughts by Sugar Bear ,"The King Is in the Room"

" Faith Before Fear—Come Alive in Christ Before You Pre-Judge"

Have you ever caught yourself preparing to judge someone—before inviting Christ to lead you with grace instead of fear?

Before we dive into discussion or disagreement, let’s remember something sacred that often goes unsaid but is always true: the King is already in the room. Jesus Christ is not a subject of belief—He is the living presence of peace, even in the spaces where mistrust, fear, and old labels still linger.

We all walk in wearing invisible name tags: conservative, liberal, skeptic, believer, wounded, warrior. We brace for judgment—and sometimes hand it out before the first handshake. We expect labels, not lives. We expect boxes, not crosses. But the cross of Christ did more than forgive our sins—it broke the dividing wall of hostility (Ephesians 2:14).

The remedy isn’t found in our efforts to get along. The remedy is Jesus.

When stereotypes arrive before stories, and fear beats faith to the door, we must pause and remember: Christ is alive—and He is here.

Colossians 3:11 declares, “Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised… but Christ is all, and in all.” This is the radical claim of the Gospel: Christ is in the conservative and the progressive, the elder and the youth, the Black man and the white woman, the immigrant and the soldier. He’s the King who walks into the room before opinions do—and still whispers, “Peace be with you” (John 20:19).

So let’s agree: Curiosity is stronger than stereotype. Grace is louder than grievance. In Braver Angels and beyond, don’t just ask what someone believes. Ask who carried them here. That’s where resurrection shows up.

My Prayer:

Jesus, help us see You before we judge each other. Let our labels fall at Your feet. Make us alive in Your mercy, attentive to Your presence, and brave enough to ask, “Who are you becoming in Christ?”

Stereotypes are like sunglasses at midnight—they block the light. But when we remove them and trust that the Son is already shining, we begin to see the person—not the shadow.

God bless you and this ministry!
