How often have I heard this verse applied to Christians, and Christianity, when the secular world is looking to criticize a “loveless church.” When the very real suffering of a world, void of the love of Jesus, reaches a painful point instead of turning to Jesus the hurting world criticizes the church with this verse.
Are Christians, and the church, supposed to be the “keeper of world?” No! In context Cain was specifically speaking about his relationship to his brother; but we must remember these two men were raised, as a next generation, with the full knowledge of God and even giving sacrifices of worship unto to Him. This is a very different relationship Christians (light) are called to have with world (darkness).
Today’s world / society hardly acknowledges God let alone offers Him any kind of worship. The result? A suffering world without any relief from their sin. Of course complete relief, from all sin, is in Christ alone; but when the world comes face to face with their sin it is not the fault or place of the church to be the “keeper of the world.”
The church, and Christians, are called to be keepers of the Word and our relationship to our “brothers” are to be experienced, as well as nurtured, through this dynamic and not one a godless and loveless world places on us.
As Christians we will only be able to serve a hurting world, not as their bonded brother, but as a lifeline pointing a drifting soul toward the direction of adoption. But the process of adoption must come through Jesus and not through a relationship with “the church.”
Christians and the church must first be keepers of their relationship with Jesus, than keepers of His Word and finally voices of hope… but never offering themselves as the hope…the only hope of the world is Jesus!
