David James Burrell was a Reformed Dutch minister. He looks to follow Jesus. He says there are many wanting to help, but don’t want to look upon suffering. He calls this “quackery”! Go look upon people in shame and hunger. See crime and anguish. See it with your own eyes if you want to help it.
Today, rather than visit areas w/ crime, we’ll concoct stories about crime in order to wall off people groups.
How can you seek out sufferers?
Edward Norris Kirk, Presbyterian minister from Albany, relates the Good Samaritan to education of formerly enslaved people. Those of whom “some wretch robbed them of their inalienable rights.”
Taking responsibility for those you run across even if injured by others.
How can you bind up the wounds of those deprived of their inalienable rights?
