JOHN

Good Morning! I’m John Branning the Lead Pastor of
Central United Methodist Church. Today our nation honors
the work of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, whose ministry in
racial reconciliation through non violence transformed the
very fabric of our society. God has raised many different
leaders though out history who were able to point out the
divisions that separate us as people.
For many people, it is easier for them to live separated from
one another instead of striving for reconciliation because
after all forgiveness is hard. It is most difficult to forgive and
to be reconciled to those who have hurt us. However, it is
not the words of mortal people that call us today to be
reconciled with each other but instead the voice of Jesus
Christ that died on the cross to show us how far God’s love
was willing to go to reconcile us to himself. Let us honor all
those who have proclaimed to us to love one another by
doing just that.
