LIVING ABOVE THE ETHICAL NORM
It is
a strange characteristic among human beings, that we tend to treat our
criminals and our saints alike. One
lives below the norm, the other lives above the norm, but both have sinned
against the norm. The Christians (in
Roman times) lived above the ethical norm.
The fact that we are not persecuted as Christians may well be an
indictment. Is it that we have won the
world, or has the world won us? Are we
no longer a threat to the tranquility of sinful humankind by living above the
commonly accepted norm? That is a
question that ought to haunt us.
