Know better than the common folk. The authorities are the experts while the crowd is deceived. The supposedly enlightened rulers are blessed while the mob is cursed.
At least that’s the general thinking, often in the minds of both parties. This is a power dynamic as old as time.
The good news, of course, is that this simply isn’t true. In God’s great design, the most essential and fundamental truths of the universe can be understood by anyone. And the great subversiveness of his kingdom is that it’s often the poor, the simple, the uneducated, the powerless, the disenfranchised, and the humble who see most clearly.
Power, for all its allure, is a blinding light.
Just because the elite, or the authorities, or the enlightened few aren’t on board, doesn’t definitively mean you’re on the wrong boat.
