Mean, Mean People

Lauren — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 01:37:17 +0000

What are we gonna do about these mean, mean people?
Where does it come from?
I can’t really say for sure.
What are we gonna do about these hurting people?
Love might be the remedy
And Jesus is the cure.

-”Mean, Mean People,” by Mark Bishop

The lyrics to Mark’s song have been rolling around in my head the last few days. Maybe it’s the stress of the holidays. I don’t know what it is, but it seems that some people allow their inner Grinch to surface around this time of year. (Although I must confess, “You’re A Mean One, Mr. Grinch” is one of my favorite kind-of-not-really Christmas songs.) Did you hear about the woman who pepper sprayed 20 people at a Walmart on Black Friday? True story. Her response when questioned by police? “I don’t care. I’m getting my TV.” Most sane, rational people hear that and think, “That’s crazy. I’d never do something like that.” Yet we sting each other with spicy words so often without a second thought.

It’s really hurtful and frustrating when those who profess to be Christians don’t always treat each other as Christ would, and we have all been guilty of that at one time or another. The Bible says that we will give an account for every careless word we have spoken (Matthew 12:36). That means every snap at your spouse or children, every “private discussion” about someone else, every Internet comment you thought was anonymous. Every careless word. (Don’t know about you, but I’m convicted.)

So what are we gonna do about these mean, mean people?

We’re commissioned by the Lord to try to do a little more
To take His love into a hurting world.

This world is hurting and looking for grace. We Christians are flawed people, but we answer to a holy God. So if you have been mean to someone, go make it right. If someone has been mean to you, bless them, pray for them, forgive them. Hurting people hurt people, but love can be the remedy, and Jesus is the cure.

May we all receive and extend grace.
