Everyone clamors to
get in where the rule of law prevails. What is the rule of law? It is the
Mosaic principle that every person is created in the image and likeness of God
and must always be considered in that light.
But “unless God
watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain.” Why? Because unless the
city wall itself is the Mosaic
principle of the brotherhood of all persons, the law of the jungle played out
inside the city is the same as the jungle law outside the city, albeit
with different rules.
The same drama is
acted out continually inside every human heart. That’s what is meant by, “the
fear of God is the beginning of wisdom.” Unless my thinking is predicated upon
my stake in the well-being of every other human, it’s just predation.
