Emphasis Preaching Journal

At a weekly Bible study for pastors, one of the group shared his intention of being arrested the following week. He had spent many hours in prayer. He had talked with friends and others. He had struggled long with the decision, and he felt he could no longer keep silent. He had to act in a way that was consistent with the presence of Christ in his life. For him the only choice was to stand with the witnessing community who would together face arrest non-violently.
