Today’s Thought “No Justice, No Peace?” G. Ward

 

“But the Jews, becoming jealous and taking along some wicked men from the market place, formed a mob and set the city in an uproar; and attacking the house of Jason, they were seeking to bring them out to the people.” Acts 17:5

 

Racial and cultural injustice has existed from many centuries ago. Sadly, it doesn’t appear to get any better for mankind. It stems primarily from a disconnect with Holy God. Contrary to popular belief, there’s love, then hate. The categorization therein is indicative of man’s selfish plight to please himself vs. living a sacrificial life of servitude. On yesterday it was reported; Gang of Black Teens Beats White Memphis Grocery Store Employee into Unconsciousness. Categorically, these teens expression in brutal violence began as a game of sorts. According to Memphis police, the group emerged from a restaurant in the same strip mall and immediately attacked a 25-year-old man as he left his car in the parking lot and headed for the grocery store.

Two grocery store employees ran to the man's aide, and the Black mob attacked them as well, brutally beating all three victims into unconsciousness.

Police report that the crowd of up to 20 teens were laughing and yelling "fan mob."

Where is National Action Network (Rev. Al Sharpton), Rainbow Coalition (Rev. Jesse Jackson), or Atty. Benjamin Crump with all their ingathering tactics in resolve? In all of your righteous indignation, along with justifiable outrage, is your militancy awaiting peaceable mobs chanting “No Peace, No Justice” for the victims of this most heinous crime? Will these young people be prosecuted under the hate crime legislative process? Is your insistence of personal jurisprudence without racial bias?

Every level of outrage must be harnessed unto the Author of peace, Jesus Christ. While our motif in resolving social ills may be proactive; life (with its cyclical existence) will more reveal injustice as never ending. Proactivation remains resolute when man considers no other foundation than Christ (Ac.4:12). Run and tell that!

 

Happy Tuesday!
