Busy tweeting dead-men quotes, we forget that our heroes were hated. We love them to death because they’re…
Dead.
Those they admonished and rebuked are also dead, so we don’t have to help our heroes bear their shame.
To say the obvious, laying garlands is not “receiving a prophet” and will never yield a prophet’s reward.
He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward. (Matthew 10:41)
