Evening: Psalms 36, 39; John 8:31-47
Last Friday was the 57th anniversary of the 1963 Civil Rights march on Washington and of Martin Luther King’s famous, “I have a dream” speech. King dreamed of freedom not only for black Americans but freedom from all that enslaves or imprisons the human spirit, freedom for all from the slavery of both oppressor and oppressed. MLK spoke in the tradition of Jesus, who declares: “If you continue in my word ... you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” Jesus’s invitation has still not been accepted by all, but his promise of freedom stands.
