Happy to celebrate Juneteenth today in light of current events.

This day came about because courageous men and women didn’t turn a blind eye to injustice around them.

They saw that loving their neighbor was not “embracing another gospel”.

That some stopped using the Bible and Christianity to enslave people but used to it love their neighbor.

They caused the right kind of division. Division against hundreds of years of oppression. Somebody did something.

Today we honor those who were considered rebels because they no longer wanted to be dehumanized. We honor those who sacrificed much because they knew they were made in the image of God.

Jesus… Accused of rebellion against the spiritual leaders. Beaten by his authorities. Misunderstood and mistreated. He knows and walks alongside us. Because of His great love for us we can all be fully forgiven of sin which is our greatest need. We can be with him in heaven where there will be no more pain. No more striving for people to understand. No more misuse of truth. No more. Maranatha
