Greville Ewing, founder of the Edinburgh Missionary Society, noted that the East India Company resisted missions because the gospel unsettled profitable injustice. Faithful preaching, he assumed, makes exploitation harder to maintain. If so, which dissatisfactions do we fear today—and which conversions do we resist? How might the gospel advance with integrity?

George Hutcheson, a Scottish #Presbyterian expositor, notes that Job is accused (v.22:6-7) not of cruelty but of neglect: no water for the weary, no bread for the hungry. Scripture treats withheld mercy as real guilt. We answer not only for harm done, but for good refused.

What omissions would still accuse us? Where can you give water today?

Scottish missionary James William Massie describes starvation and disease in India—and notes the suffering gathered at the doors of European residents. He doesn’t blame local religion; he implies responsibility rests with those who had power. Though sent to preach the gospel, he insists attending bodily misery belongs to Christian witness itself. Both sneering at missionaries and ignoring suffering miss the point. How will you let misery disturb you into action?

Dutch Reformed missionary Andrew Murray notes that in Luke 16 Lazarus is praised for no special virtue, and the rich man is condemned for no scandalous crime—only for ignoring Lazarus’s suffering. The sin is comfortable neglect. Faith that guards doctrine yet trains us not to notice pain misses the warning. How are we learning to see—and respond to—the poor at our gate?
