From Pastor Stephen: Today I write out of a deep sense of grief, teary eyes and a broken heart because of the loss of another person of color to a senseless act of modern day lynching. Enough is Enough! In the Jewish culture, the Talmud teaches: "One who saves a single life, saves an entire world" is the same Jewish text that instructs us that "One who destroys a single life, destroys an entire world." As a nation we should grieve & lament over the horrific acts of another innocent person of color. As a church, we should seek ways of confession & repentance with an intentional turn toward racial reconciliation. The arc of justice seems to be bending in the wrong direction. Enough is Enough! George Floyd, who was black, died in Minneapolis police custody after a white officer pinned him to the ground and put his knee on his neck for 8 minutes. Video footage shows him saying "I can't breathe" while on the ground. This is inexcusable & unnecessary. Privilege allows one to devalue another life. Privilege affords you to turn your head from the pain of neighbors. Privilege doesn’t accept responsibility for its actions. Enough is Enough! Jesus tells his disciples to wait until the Holy Spirit comes so they can be witnesses. Well the Holy Spirit is among us and we can no longer wait for justice! We are the justice that others are seeking! We must start to create justice steps, even if they are small. Let’s take a step toward the justice and righteousness of Jesus! He will walk with us! Even in our grief, evil doesn’t take a day off. But the good news is that justice is knocking at the doors of our hearts. Please answer it! In John 10:10 we hear these words from Jesus, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.” Unfortunately due to the virus of brutality, George Floyd’s life of abundance has been cut short. Indeed, I will wipe my eyes and move forward by grace through faith. I will not be the same, but more determined than ever to stay the course because George Floyd deserves better.
