Over the
last two days, and this being the day Martin Luther King Jr. was felled by an
assassin's bullet, I've been starkly reminded that standing up for justice can
be costly. But those who, at great risk to themselves, speak up for 'the least
of these' must continue to do so confident in the knowledge that God himself
is able to protect them, including protecting them beyond physical death. For
if we give up our life for the cause of justice, we continue to live in the
hearts of those for whom we made the ultimate sacrifice. And we finish on the
right side of history, knowing that ultimately good will overcome evil, justice
will outlive injustice, love will triumph over hate, hope will outlast despair
and life will conquer death.
