Martin Luther King Jr. had a dream.
Today we celebrate his life and the legacy he left behind. It is no question that he was taken from this life way too soon. Jesus was too.
Martin Luther King Jr. was an advocate for love. He had a dream that he hoped would change the face of society. He envisioned a world where people could live and breathe together in unity and peace. He wanted people to rise above their differences and embrace each other in love. The way Jesus loved us.
Martin Luther King Jr’s dream should have never been ignored. His vision should never be swept under the rug only to be brought out every year on this day.
His dream is our lives as Christians defined.
Martin Luther King Jr. wanted Men, Women, Children to live and be better people. He wanted them to humble themselves before God and realize that God’s plans and purpose were larger than our own.
We are disciples of Christ and our purpose in life is more than a dream, it’s our destiny. It is what we are put here on this Earth to do. We are to love others the way Christ loved and died for us.
We are His dream defined. Everyday we are given opportunities to love more, help others in need, and be a voice in a crowd of many. We are given the opportunity to live the way God wanted us too. A life that is built on the foundation of Christ and imitate Him in everything we do.
There is a hole in this world that Martin Luther King Jr. left behind. However, his truth is still evident in how we need to do more and be better people of faith.
There is a hole in our hearts that can only be filled with the love of Christ. This truth is evident in how we live and face the challenges of each day. Martin Luther King Jr. faced adversity and died for what he believed. As Christians, we face persecution and criticism for what we believe.
Martin Luther King Jr’s ideal society was one that was built on love. God’s promise to us was Jesus. He is love.
Jesus is Martin Luther King Jr’s dream defined.
As disciples of Christ, we are his dream defined. It’s time we stop dreaming and make his dream a reality. It’s time for us to make Jesus a reality.
Are you still dreaming?
