Evening: Psalm 49; Matthew 14:1-12
Yesterday was the anniversary of the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre. Did you recall the picture of the lone rebel standing in the path of four army tanks? Sometimes the present powers don’t accept being questioned. John stood against Herod and was executed. Jesus, too, stood firm against unrighteous power and was killed. I wonder: “On which side of the powers do I stand?” Sometimes that’s not clear. Even when it is, I [don't] always have the courage to stand, with Jesus, for justice … I pray that I might. Better still, perhaps we can stand together?
