It spoke against slavery.
I spoke against death camps.
It spoke against segregation.
It is speaking against many great evils that destroy the lives of the innocent today.
For this, I praise God.
Yesterday the world was exposed to a great evil that was going to be committed at one of America's most prestigious universities and the human heart it rose up.
I am very glad. But....
Why were you not as offended the day before, or the day before that one? Why not the march, the voices, the affirmations of Jesus as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords?
Why not?
Do you not think that Jesus was abased as deeply before? Are you so unaware?
Public outcries are needed at times in the course of human events but the proof of the heart is exposed in the following days.
The Master said:
“These people make a big show of saying the right thing,
but their hearts aren’t in it.
but their hearts aren’t in it.
I ask you, all of you who claim Jesus Christ as your Lord and King, you men and women, you husbands and wives, you grandmothers and grandfathers, all of you one simple question;
What will you do today if;
you agree that Jesus is King,
that evil is real,
and that the world is a mess?
Do what you did yesterday. Each and everyday.
In love stand and proclaim Jesus as your Lord.
In love speak out against those who do evil.
In love tell others that you are a follower of Christ.
In love tell your family that there are those spreading lies about God.
In love worship Jesus in the mundane tasks of your everyday living.
The question today is the same after Sunday Eucharist;
what will do you do about it once you leave the doors?
The war has been won on the Cross but the battle still rages. Jesus is seated at the right hand of God. His work is finished. You are not allowed to be passive.
"Let none of us grow weary in doing good.
At the right time we will gather a crop if we don't give up"
Galatians 6:9
