b'When we see injustice in the world, what should motivate us to act?\\nAs Christians, we believe God loves every person. God revealed His love for us on the cross\\u2014the place where Jesus gave up His life. Jesus suffered more injustice than anyone, and His self-sacrificing love is what motivates us to show that same love to others. We love because we have been loved first by Jesus.\\n.\\nThis is what motivated Corrie ten Boom. As a Christian woman living during World War II, she was a part of the Dutch resistance, and she helped many Jewish people escape during the Holocaust. While earning her living as a watchmaker in the Netherlands, Corrie worked in secret with other members of the Dutch resistance to create a hiding place for Jewish refugees inside her family\\u2019s home and watch shop. Their efforts saved many people from death, but one day Corrie\\u2014and members of her family\\u2014were caught and arrested by the Nazis. Corrie was eventually released, but several of her family members died while they were imprisoned.\\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 her relationship with Jesus that helped her process all that had happened to her and around her, and it was Jesus\\u2019s love that motivated her to continue helping others until the end of her life.\\n.\\nAs Christians, we serve the God of justice. The same Jesus who died and rose 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, so we have the joy and privilege of pointing people to our Savior through words and actions\\u2014including acts of courage and love toward our neighbors, even in the face of injustice.\\xa0\\n.\\n\\u2022 What sticks out to you the most about Corrie ten Boom\\u2019s story?\\n\\u2022 We live in a world that\\u2019s broken by sin and its effects. As Christians, how can resting in God\\u2019s love equip us to love our neighbors in this broken world?\\n.\\n\\u2022 Corrie ten Boom was able to help save lives because she was part of a community that was united around God\\u2019s love for the people He has made. How can working for justice\\u2014as a community\\u2014help us better serve our neighbors?\\n.\\nWe love because he first loved us. 1 John 4:19 (NIV)\\n\\xa0\\nRead Verses:\\n1John.4.19|John.3.16-John.3.17|John.13.34-John.13.35'
