I t was like any other Thursday morning. As I scrolled through Instagram in the summer of 2015, I was confronted with the image of the dead body of three-year-old Alan Kurdi, washed up on a beach in Turkey. I sat and stared at the photograph. I realized that a countrymultiple countries, in factwere being devastated as we sat blindly by. As I sat blindly by.
I wondered what it was going to take to get me to pay attention. And what I was willing to do about it.
A year and a half earlier, I had stood in Yad Vashem, the World Holocaust Remembrance Center in Jerusalem, wondering how the world sat by and watched the extermination of millions of Jews during the Holocaust. I have considered other genocides and atrocities from recent history and wondered the same thing. How did the world sit by and allow this to happen? How did ordinary citizens like you and me sit by quietly and not speak out?
And suddenly, looking at that image of little Alan Kurdis body, I realized: Weve been here before. The atrocities taking place now are not new. And our response, or lack thereof, is not new. We are allowing history to repeat itself. We are still choosing to look away, rather than responding actively with love, embracing, welcoming, and providing for those who desperately need it.
As I have endeavored to speak out for refugees, the vulnerable, and the oppressed, I constantly return to the Word of God. Jesus says in Matthew 25:
I was hungry and you fed me,
I was thirsty and you gave me a drink,
I was homeless and you gave me a room,
I was shivering and you gave me clothes,
I was sick and you stopped to visit,
I was in prison, and you came to me.
Then those sheep are going to say, Master, what are you talking about? When did we ever see you hungry and feed you, thirsty and give you a drink? And when did we ever see you sick or in prison and come to you? Then the King will say, Im telling the solemn truth: Whenever you did one of these things to someone overlooked or ignored, that was meyou did it to me. (Matthew 25:35-40 The Message)
As I read this passage, I am not sure how much clearer Jesus needed to be. He didnt say, Feed and protect and visit only when it is convenient, or when you are not at risk, or when you have all the answers, or when the government leads the way. He says, simply, that when we do these things, we are doing them to him.
I keep asking: Where is the church right now? Where are the followers of Jesus? What are we doing in response to the greatest humanitarian crisis of our time?
When I came across this book, Love in a Time of Hate, my heart was stirred, my resolve strengthened. We have been here before. And there were those who chose love over fear, those who chose to run headfirst into uncertainty and to respond as Jesus commanded.
Andr and Magda Trocms story is so, so very important. Their storyof choosing to love their neighbors in a time when hate was so prevalentchallenges us to not allow fear or complicity with injustice to be our response.
