Stand alonePart 1

It is human to stand with the crowd; it is divine to stand alone. It is man-like to follow the people, to drift with the tide; it is God-like to follow a principle and to go against the tide. It is natural to compromise conscience and follow the social and religious fashion for the sake of gain or pleasure; it is divine to sacrifice both on the altar of truth and duty.

“No man stood with me, but all men forsook me” (2 Timothy 4:16), the battle-scarred Apostle Paul wrote long ago, in describing his first appearance before Nero to answer for his life, for believing and teaching contrary to the Roman world.

Truth has been out of fashion since the fall of Adam.

Noah built and voyaged alone. His neighbors laughed at his strangeness and died in style.

Abraham wandered and worshiped alone. Sodomites perhaps smiled at this simple shepherd, followed the fashion, and fed the flames.

Daniel dined and prayed alone.

Elijah sacrificed and witnessed alone.

Jeremiah prophesied and wept alone.

Jesus loved and died alone.
