Assuming our Calling
April 5th, 2013 Rand Kreycik
Take today’s next step: Step up and lean in – start the 35 day challenge today!
“So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise,[a] she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate.” (Genesis 3:6)
Douglas Wilson writes in his pivotal work, Father Hunger, “So masculinity is the glad assumption of sacrificial responsibility, and this is what Jesus established for us.” My wife reminded me that this has been one of the crucial issues in our marriage from the beginning. My unwillingness to gladly take on this sacrificial responsibility has caused more damage and hurt than anything else. Indeed, my honest failures and mistakes are not nearly as destructive as the simple unwillingness to step up, man up, and fill the gap for her.
Wow, can we say “son of Adam”? Remember the rift in the original marriage? “Your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you,” God warned after the Fall. (Genesis 3:16, ESV) This smacks of combat. Her desire would be to control him; his orientation would be to lord it over her.
What caused this? Yes, the original sin. They ate from the tree they were commanded not to, but I submit that it was not so much the eating as what was behind the eating that destroyed them. Eve wanted to be like God (Genesis 3:6). Adam wanted to cave, wimp out, avoid his responsibility. Remember, Adam was there with her (v. 6) when Eve was being tempted. He was the silent accomplice as the Serpent wove his intoxicating tale. Good heavens man, wasn’t there a big stick somewhere around? How about a rock? Adam could have gotten rid of that snake. I often wonder why Adam just let it happen. And why have we, his sons, just been letting it happen ever since?
I think a major reason is because it’s hard to stand up to our fears. We feel inadequate and this makes us pull back. In Wild at Heart John Eldredge explains it this way:
This is every man’s deepest fear: to be exposed, to be found out, to be discovered as an imposter, and not really a man. … A man bears the image of God in his strength, not so much physically, but soulfully. Regardless of whether or not he knows the biblical account, if there’s one thing a man does know he knows he is made to come through. Yet he wonders … Can I? Will I? When the going gets rough, when it really matters, will he pull it off? (p. 47)
But why can’t we see that it is only in facing our fears and inadequacies that we find true courage? Forever running creates forever cowards.
So sons of Adam, let us gladly assume our calling – the “glad assumption of sacrificial responsibility”! Let us no longer allow our fears and sinfulness to destroy us. The Second Adam calls us to faithfulness and courage. He modeled this – paved the way for us. It was a bloody way to Golgotha, but His unwillingness to shirk His responsibility led to the glad and shining path out of the tomb. His grace is sufficient (2 Corinthians 12:9). What are we waiting for?
God, I want to be the man you made me to be. Remind me that my strength is in You, not in my own efforts alone. Help me to lead with Your grace, Your wisdom, Your strength and Your love. Make me more like You I pray, Amen
Questions: In what ways have your fears harmed your relationships? How have you found the courage to make things right?

The Blind Men and the Elephant
Well over one hundred years ago, an American poet put to rhyme an ancient parable. The first verse of the poem speaks about:
Six men of Indostan
To learning much inclined,
Who went to see the Elephant
(Though all of them were blind),
That each by observation
Might satisfy his mind.
In the poem each of the six travelers takes hold of a different part of the elephant and then describes to the others what he has discovered.
One of the men finds the elephant’s leg and describes it as being round and rough like a tree. Another feels the tusk and describes the elephant as a spear. A third grabs the tail and insists that an elephant is like a rope. A fourth discovers the trunk and insists that the elephant is like a large snake.
Each is describing truth.
And because his truth comes from personal experience, each insists that he knows what he knows.
The poem concludes:
And so these men of Indostan
Disputed loud and long,
Each in his own opinion
Exceeding stiff and strong,
Though each was partly in the right,
And all were in the wrong!1
We look at this story from a distance and smile. After all, we know what an elephant looks like. We have read about them and watched them on film, and many of us have even seen one with our own eyes. We believe we know the truth of what an elephant is. That someone could make a judgment based on one aspect of truth and apply it to the whole seems absurd or even unbelievable. On the other hand, can’t we recognize ourselves in these six blind men? Have we ever been guilty of the same pattern of thought?
I suppose the reason this story has remained so popular in so many cultures and over so many years is because of its universal application. The Apostle Paul said that in this world the light is dim and we see only part of the truth as though we are looking “through a glass, darkly.”2 And yet it seems to be part of our nature as human beings to make assumptions about people, politics, and piety based on our incomplete and often misleading experience.
I am reminded of a story about a couple who had been married for 60 years. They had rarely argued during that time, and their days together passed in happiness and contentment. They shared everything and had no secrets between them—except one. The wife had a box that she kept at the top of a sideboard, and she told her husband when they were married that he should never look inside.
As the decades passed, the moment came that her husband took the box down and asked if he could finally know what it contained. The wife consented, and he opened it to discover two doilies and $25,000. When he asked his wife what this meant, she responded, “When we were married, my mother told me that whenever I was angry with you or whenever you said or did something I didn’t like, I should knit a small doily and then talk things through with you.”
The husband was moved to tears by this sweet story. He marveled that during 60 years of marriage he had only disturbed his wife enough for her to knit two doilies. Feeling extremely good about himself, he took his wife’s hand and said, “That explains the doilies, but what about the $25,000?”
His wife smiled sweetly and said, “That’s the money I got from selling all the doilies I’ve knitted over the years.”
Not only does this story teach an interesting way to deal with disagreements in marriage, but it also illustrates the folly of jumping to conclusions based on limited information.
So often the “truths” we tell ourselves are merely fragments of the truth, and sometimes they’re not really the truth at all.
Today I would like to speak of truth. As I do, I invite you to ponder a few important questions.
The first question is “What is truth?”
The second, “Is it really possible to know the truth?”
And third, “How should we react to things that contradict truths which we have learned previously?”
