In our days when you did something for the group by resolving certain issues, eased certain tensions or get certain things done, someone in the group will give an affirmation," You're the man!"
A story in the Bible reminded me of something of that nature but with a little twist. Nathan was the prophet in the time of King David. One day he told the king a story which angered David. This was the content of the story.
And the Lord sent Nathan unto David. And he came unto him and said unto him, There were two men in one city; the one rich, and the other poor. The rich man had exceeding many flocks and herds: But the poor man had nothing, save one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and nourished up: and it grew up together with him, and with his children; it did eat of his own meat, and drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was unto him as a daughter. And there came a traveler unto the rich man, and he spared to take of his own flock and of his own herd, to dress for the wayfaring man that was come unto him; but took the poor man's lamb, and dressed it for the man that was come to him. And David's anger was greatly kindled against the man; and he said to Nathan, As the Lord liveth, the man that hath done this thing shall surely die: And he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity. (2 Samuel 12:1-6 KJV)
You're the man! Nathan pointed out that David's adultery with Bath-Sheba and the arrangement to kill her husband Uriah the Hittite was the very act of the oppressor in the story. David then repented but his sin cost him a lot of trouble since.
We see from this that it is easy to feel a sense of justice but not easy to perceive our own sin. Our sense of flawed righteousness blocks our view to our own wrongs. This is so true that Jesus advised His listeners to take out the beam that is in their eye before handling the mote of their brother's eye.
May we learn to remove our own imperfection first for the best way to start changes is to change ourselves.
