The Sacred Fool

David Wells, in his classic, No Place for Truth, gives us the picture of the pastor in the modern world as the sacred fool. So what kind of men are we? Are we sacred fools for Jesus who have been liberated from class interest and social expectation? Are we the kingsmen? Curses can be compliments and more than compliments blessings. Blessed are you when people hate you and when they exclude you and revile you; spurn your name as evil on account of the Son of Man. And happy are those churches whose ministers are likewise emancipated from the bonds of class interest andsocial expectation to expose the follies of modernity in light of God's truth.
