Here's a simple parable with an important moral.
Each mirror, you see, has inspectors, who,
acting as corporate protectors, must find any scratch, every unseemly patch. They're inferior mirror detectors.
The
head of this group is Pierre, who trains his formidable stare
on each glass for an hour, and does he turn sour when finding some
blemishes there! This man, so well-trained as a peerer, has no
practical use for a mirror. His hair's such a tangle, seen from any
angle. We wish that his mirror were clearer.
"Pierre,"
I repeatedly mention, "Your hair's now a bone of contention. Now, sir,
you just hush! I have bought you a brush, and some spray for your
hairdo's retention."
Do you think that such mild conversation will effect any quick transformation? Not until he observes what is fraying our nerves:
his nightmare-hair irritation.
Now
we know there's been many a preacher, or a prideful, and
self-proclaimed teacher, who's examined God's mirror, and cried, "Could
be clearer!" but never saw what kind of creature the mirror to them has
reflected. They must face what they never expected: if the glass is
looked through, then so clear is the view, that the critics themselves
are inspected.
As James, the brother of Jesus writes, "Do not
merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.
Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a
man who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself,
goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But the man who
looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues
to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it–he will be
blessed in what he does." --James 1:22–25 NIV
