Compassion Over Pain

The Cross is unearned and unearnable advocacy. I think that that beauty frees us to not have to justify our valuing and advocating for the value of human beings made in the image of God. There are some specific names and faces and stories from the last few months that come to mind: Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Jacob Blake, Elijah McClain. You could add Patrick Warren Sr. No proof of worthiness or value for them as Image bearers should be required. No proof was needed when Christ purchased our freedom and advocated for our value.

I take a look at Christian rapper Thi'sl's own encounter with violence and recognize that the same ones we might sacrifice for and long to minister to, might come to do us harm.
