DENNIS
Good morning everyone. I am Dennis Gossett with Central United Methodist Church. Today in America, we celebrate the life and legacy of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. For me, Dr. King’s message was a proclamation that every person, regardless of skin color, has sacred value, which was not well received in the segregated South.
He wanted us to recognize and honor the blessing of diversity. Today, our country seems to be more diversified than ever before and yet, the same ole problems seem to rear its ugly head from time to time.
There is a story in scripture that tells of a huge group of people who have gathered together for a wedding. Finally, some of those folks invited Jesus to be an active participant at the wedding, which he did gladly.
Perhaps, it is time that we recognize our presence, as well as the presence of others, at this gathering we call America, and invite Jesus to come to be an active participant with us. Thereby, continuing the dream Dr. King once had; by extending the hand of fellowship to everybody at the wedding. Have a blessed day!
