Is Christ Beneath Your Dignity?
So, you have excelled in your path in life. You have acquired much of the world's knowledge, goods, toys, associations, accolades, and wisdom. You now move with the high and mighty. You are dignified.
You are also a Christian.
Therein lies the problem. Your endowments and accomplishments rebel against identifying with "those lowly and ignorant Christians". The continuous need to be approved of those at your social and intellectual circles trumps the imperative to align with and defend the word of truth.
Christ has become an embarrassment to you! It is now beneath your dignity to publicly add your voice to the proclamations of your brethren, or to place your God-given clout at the disposal of the army of God.
You prefer to close your eyes and mouth to the plight of persecuted believers than risk being labelled a bigot or fanatic. Yet, Moses, with far less grace than you, chose "rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin, esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt" and Jesus Christ Himself, our Lord and Sanctifier is not ashamed to call believers brethren.
My beloved brother/sister, my counsel to you is to repent and amend your ways before the Lord. Determine now to stand up for Jesus and be identified with all that pertain to Him. I can assure you it is a glorious thing to do.
You have no dignity outside of Jesus.
