When we see injustice in the world, what should motivate us to act?\n\n\n\nAs Christians, we believe God loves every person. God revealed His love forus on the crossthe place where Jesus gave up His life. Jesus suffered moreinjustice than anyone, and His self-sacrificing love is what motivates usto show that same love to others. We love because we have been loved firstby Jesus.\n\n\n\n.\n\n\n\nThis is what motivated Corrie ten Boom. As a Christian woman living duringWorld War II, she was a part of the Dutch resistance, and she helped manyJewish people escape during the Holocaust. While earning her living as awatchmaker in the Netherlands, Corrie worked in secret with other membersof the Dutch resistance to create a hiding place for Jewish refugees insideher family\u2019s home and watch shop. Their efforts saved many people fromdeath, but one day Corrieand members of her familywere caught andarrested by the Nazis. Corrie was eventually released, but several of herfamily members died while they were imprisoned.\n\n\n\n.\n\n\n\nThroughout the rest of her days, Corrie wrote about God\u2019s work in her life,and she continued to seek out ways to help Holocaust survivors. It was herrelationship with Jesus that helped her process all that had happened toher and around her, and it was Jesus\u2019s love that motivated her to continuehelping others until the end of her life.\n\n\n\n.\n\n\n\nAs Christians, we serve the God of justice. The same Jesus who died androse again for us will one day return to set everything right (Romans 8;Revelation 21:1-5). We are part of His family and His eternal kingdom, sowe have the joy and privilege of pointing people to our Savior throughwords and actionsincluding acts of courage and love toward our neighbors,even in the face of injustice.
