Wisdom From Our Pastor “No one really knows why they are alive until they know what they’d die for.”

-Dr. Martin Luther King Fifty years ago, a Nobel Peace Prize-winning icon of the civil rights movement was murdered in Memphis while fighting for 1,300 black sanitation workers from AFSCME Local 1733.

He gave his life for those workers. When his widow considered what it would mean to have a holiday honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, she remarked it would be the first American holiday for someone killed in a labor struggle.

He was a prophet and a genius, a bold visionary who could lead America into a better tomorrow through a deep and abiding faith. The heart aches to think of what could have been achieved had he lived even one more month. The magnitude of the loss is incomprehensible to this day.

Over the last year, UNAC/UHCP has examined his life and his work. Earlier this week, we looked at his second-most famous speech, where he connected world history, a string of revolutions occurring in countries worldwide in the 1960s, the black sanitation workers’ strike, and then seemed to predict his own death.

What we have found is that Dr. King is even more inspirational the deeper you dig. A Baptist minister, Dr. King connected the love for mankind that he found in his faith, along with forgiveness, to justice. In his view, the other side of love is justice, and there is no justice without equality. He said, “Nonviolence is absolute commitment to the way of love. Love is not emotional bash; it is not empty sentimentalism. It is the active outpouring of one’s whole being into the being of another.”

To Dr. King, his calling was to use the gospel to raise up the lowest among us. When he was assassinated, his poor people’s campaign was just getting off the ground, a natural outgrowth of the work he had been doing with the labor movement and unions for years.

May the words Dr. King spoke half a century ago inspire those still fighting for the dream he imagined for all of us. Rest in power, Dr. King.

Flood my soul with your spirit and love. Penetrate and possess my whole being so utterly that all my life may only be a radiance of You. Shine through me and be so in me that every soul I come in contact with may feel Your presence in my soul. Let them look up and see no longer me but only Jesus. Stay with me and then I shall begin to shine as you shine, so to shine as to be a light to others. Amen.

Reflections of the Week: Have you ever been the means of “inviting” someone to “behold” God’s love in their lives? Has someone ever been an Andrew or John the Baptist for you? When did Martin Luther King, Jr. deliver his famous speech “I have a dream…”? What sort of discrimination did he fight against?

OFFERTORY HYMN

PRECIOUS LORD, TAKE MY HAND

By Joyce Merman

Precious Lord, take my hand, Bring me home through the night, Through the dark, through the storm, To thy light.

I have been to the mount, I have seen the Promised Land: Precious Lord, Precious Lord, take my hand.

Precious Lord, take my hand, Bring thy child home at last, Where the strife and the pain All are past: I have dreamed a great dream That thy love shall rule our land: Precious Lord, Precious Lord, take my hand.

Precious Lord, take my hand, Take thy child unto thee, With my dream of a world That is free; For that day when all flesh Joins the glory thou has planned, Precious Lord, Precious Lord, take my hand, take my hand.
