How would Jesus react to this week's news? As those who believe in Him and claim to follow His example in this world, are we being hypocritical by remaining silent as a black man is arrested in his own residence? Can we justify the behavior of the police officer simply because the black man became exasperated and raised his voice because he felt violated in his own home? The commonly seen bumper sticker says, "WWJD? - What Would Jesus Do?" Some of us have it on our cars or wear it in the form of t-shirts, jewelry or even keychains or purses. But what happens when the church, organized religion and popular preachers remain silent in cases of injustice? What message are we sending to the world? Are we complicit in racial prejudice when we take a back seat and do not comment or engage in the discussion that is ongoing about racial injustice and prejudice in this country?
