"As the coronavirus crisis moves into the background and our attention
shifts to ongoing civil unrest, it's a good idea to turn off the
constant stream of news and take time to both pray and think. The
upheaval we are currently witnessing did not flash upon the scene one
day full-blown; it has been simmering for a very long time. And while
many of us might be tempted to retreat to a safe place, pull the sheets
over our heads and hide until it's all over, I don't believe that's
really an option for any committed Christian. This moment in our
nation's history must not pass us by, nor will it. But we must do more
than just live through whatever unfolds; we must find ways to live it in
a manner that is fitting for disciples of Jesus Christ.
"History, however, is slippery. It's more than just facts, more than
names and places and dates. History is the interpretation of events, and
not always as they occurred or by someone who witnessed them. . . ."
In a recent commentary, writer Jaymie Stuart Wolfe reflected on how, as "we review the civil icons of American history, we should remember that
Jesus Christ is the center of human history and that all men are sinners
in need of redemption."
