I'm re-reading The Four Loves for the umpteenth time. This passage, written in 1960, really struck me this morning. I'm a Canadian, living in the USA for eight years now. Something I've noticed here is a preoccupation with forcefully demanding a choice between baby and bathwater. ⁣
⁣
⁣
But after five kids, I'll say: sometimes the baby just needs a bath. ⁣
⁣
⁣
We see in Jesus a willingness to recognize and name both evil and good with clarity. He took Judas to the communion table and called Peter out. He sent the stone-throwing crowd home and then called the victim to leave her destructive ways behind her. Maybe the baby *always* needs a bath.⁣
⁣
⁣
The Christian faith is about the pursuit of what is true and good. In a sense, it is the "hero-worship" of the one true hero. Yet, they say never to meet your heroes. That's what Lewis is describing: confusing the myth and the man. It seems we eagerly settle for lesser heroes when they appeal to our baser wants. ⁣
⁣
⁣
America, meet your earthly heroes (and your heroic myths) and look them in the eye. Measure them up, but please, don't let disappointment cast them as a scoundrel as though you are righteous. We are all capable of good and evil. ⁣
⁣
⁣
The reality is that your hero (or legend) is marred by sin, just like you. So, too, are our churches, our governments, our marriages, our HOAs, and everything else we do together. ⁣
⁣
⁣
Christians (and those who aren't so sure anymore), let truth and the person of Jesus shape your worldview, and not romantic myths or a broken heart. ⁣
⁣
⁣
In 1 Corinthians 13, we're told that "the greatest of these is love". In Greek, the word used is *agape*, meaning unconditional, charitable love.⁣
⁣
⁣
Be kind, be conscious, and be clear. Don't lazily love the *myth* of a person/church/nation. Let the baby take a bath, it's messy, but it's magical. Abide in faithfulness, hopefulness, and agape love: unconditional, charitable love. Like Christ to us, so we to the world. ⁣
⁣
⁣
I need to work on this. Maybe you do, too.

And also with you.
