20th October 2024 (Year B -Pentecost 22) “Pride in the Name of Love”
Jesus and Martin Luther King Jnr had many things in common.
U2 in a song about the assassination of MLK Jnr said, “Free at last, They took your life, they could not take your pride, In the name of Love”
Jesus and MLK Jnr were both Servant Leaders, who enabled social change and both died, for their commitment and respect for the powerless and a new way of looking at the world.
Commitment to this new way was at personal cost. Jesus needs His disciples to know this.
