Get Off Your High Horse Analysis
Get Off Your High Horse
This’s week’s sermon was “Get-Off Your High Horse.” The phrase has come to mean stop looking down upon someone else, or thinking that you are better or smarter than someone else. Our Scripture Reading from Acts found a man named Saul on the high horse of religious arrogance. Saul assumed he was serving God by violently persecuting those with different religious views (Acts 9:1-19).
Getting on a religious high-horse, and thinking it is God’s will to persecute any human being is a grave misunderstanding: Be it the persecution of a pagan, a witch, a gay, a lesbian, a person with whom we disagree, or even a person whom we dislike.
The persecution of any human being is a sin, for when we persecute another or others
