Commentary of the Gospell
Christian Sorrow
When the world is madly after pursuit of happiness, Christianity fells like killjoy. Why is it so?
In the movie Hotel Rwanda that tells the story of the 1994 Rwandan genocide, Jack, a journalist, plays back the horrible scenes of lynching that he recorded, to some of the stunned officials of the hotel. They ask Jack to send the footage immediately to the international news channels so that the world will see and respond. Jack pessimistically refuses commenting thus: “I think that when people turn on their TVs and see this footage, they’ll say, ‘Oh my God, that’s horrible,’ and then they’ll go back to eating their dinners.”
Sad, but true! Yet, when the ‘world’ goes back to dinner, authentic Christians simply cannot: They are compelled to share in the suffering of their brethren and alleviate the same. They seem like killjoys, but they have a joy that can never be taken away.
