How Should A Man React And Respond And Behave When His Spiritual Leader Is Insulted?
How should we react when our spiritual leader is mocked, ridiculed, and insulted? Part of Jesus Christ's uniqueness and beauty is on display, if His disciples respond with grace, when He is reviled. Followers of another leader counter the mocking of their central figure with outrage and violence. When the Son of God became a man, He willingly subjected Himself to man's bruisingly appalling behaviour. Jesus has been caricatured and mimicked to this present day, especially in the media. Those who portray the Son of God in such ways and with cynical sarcastic words really do not know the harm they are doing themselves. How are His disciples to respond? Yes, we can become aggrieved and angry, but we identify with Christ and embrace and share in His sufferings, whilst rejoicing in affliction, as we are called to love our enemies. A faith which has no insulted Saviour, will find it hard to accept and endure insults.
