Rev. Dr. W. Benjamin Boswell | Mark 6:14-29   “Even though we are the followers of Jesus in an age of whitewashed history and a whitewashed gospel, the real good news can always be reclaimed. Like the disciples, we too can become the resurrection of Jesus. We are the hope for the resurrection of the prophets and their message of love for the world. It is up to each one of us to decide which prophet of love and liberation will be raised up in our lives. Who will we become the resurrection of?” “Resurrection is the uprising of freedom and liberation. It is the reality that if you chop off the head of a prophet, God will raise up something more powerful in its place. It is the way God, and Creation, deals with the problem of death, by giving birth to something stronger, more potent, and resilient. It is the truth that the blood of the martyrs are the seeds of the church. It is the hope that if you strike down John, God will raise up Jesus; and if you strike down Jesus, God will raise up an entire movement in his place.”
