Have you ever been figuratively ‘shunned’ or ‘shut down’ for standing up for what is right? Have you ever felt not so popular because of doing what is right? That’s a rough feeling. Remember what I mentioned yesterday about power? Could it be that some folks that aspire for power do so not weighing the cost of doing what is right? Perhaps. I’m not making a judgment statement, I’m asking a question. Certainly that was not the case for John the Baptist or for Jesus. Both of these persons who were powerful were ‘shunned’ and ‘shut down’ for doing what was right. In particular, I believe Jesus; the Son of God calls us to do that which is right. Even if it means that we may risk losing popularity.
