Our hearts go out to all those grieving the tragic and unjust death of George Floyd last week. Mr. Floyd’s death has touched off a great cry against injustice and oppression from people all across our nation. We know that God is very concerned with those who are hurting. Psalm 34:18 says, “The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit” (NIV) As I read Jesus’ teaching of the Beatitudes in Matt. 5:1-12 and elsewhere I find hope in his overall message of the Kingdom of God. In the midst of all discussions & peaceful protests going on in our country (the vandals and violence are another story), I pray we will walk in step with Jesus and speak and act like the disciples he calls us to be.
