The majority of the people of this planet don’t really question the values of the society they live in. They are part of a big clockwork and they are content with the way life is.
There are others who question society and they talk about corruption and oppression. In their hearts they rebel against everything that ordinary people hold dear. This was the case during the flower power revolution in the late 60′s and early 70′s and this is the case with today’s young people too. They are sick of being a fool of this society. They want to break out and many of them live their lives according to their own philosophy. They are convinced that they found the real freedom – ‘no ones fool anymore’. But is that really true? The fact is that we will always be somebody’s fool. Most of the time we fool ourselves without even realizing it. Just because we refuse to live according to the values of this society does not mean that we are smart now. If we think we don’t need anybody and nobody needs us either, we fool ourselves.
Jesus let himself become a fool in the eyes of this world in order to change it.
He went as far as dying for the whole human race. His attitude was humility and He didn’t consider himself too precious to give His life for you and me. When He hang on that cross the whole society scoffed at Him and threw insults at Him. But He loved society and he invested His life in order to make this world a better place.
Suppose we all would imitate His example and become a blessing for this world. It wouldn’t take long and this society, which we often criticize so hard, would change. It is our God-given call to be a blessing for this world and to invest our lives in order to make it a good place to live.
