Evening: Psalms 110:1-5; 116, 117; Mark 14:43-52
It may prove dangerous to stand for justice and freedom. When you challenge wrongdoing, the powers that be are afraid. If you expose injustice, even the leaders of your own community may arm themselves against you, and friends betray or abandon you. In the face of violence, betrayal or mortal threat, only those with strong convictions hold their ground. Jesus stands firm. Jesus stands for all who strive to be true to our common humanity. Yesterday, two young Hong Kong leaders were arrested for remaining true to their vision of democracy. Faithfulness can be a lonely, hazardous path. Courage, friends!
