“We are treated as imposters, and yet are true; as unknown, and yet are well known; as dying and see – we are alive; as punished and not killed; as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing everything (2 Cor. 5)."

The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King legacy we gather to celebrate today matters. Just as Jesus revealed the power and glory of God through how he acted, what he said, who he befriended, who he included, Martin Luther King’s prophetic ministry reveals something powerful to society, the religious world in general, and the Christian Church in particular. Our gathering today is God, again, breaking into our self-interests and telling us to hear the sound of freedom, and see today as an original moment to strive for justice and freedom, not just as a figment of fond remembrance.
