No matter your political views, today’s events are worth watching. If only, to remember. Remembering is something that Christians are called to do, but we can’t remember well when aren’t paying attention in the first place. So remember:

Letter from a Birmingham Jail – “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”

I Have a Dream Speech – “Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive.”

I mean that the heir, as long as he is a child, is no different from a slave, though he is the owner of everything, but he is under guardians and managers until the date set by his father. In the same way we also, when we were children, were enslaved to the elementary principles of the world. But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God. (Galatians 4:1-7)
