As scary things happen again and again, we need to hear again and again that Jesus breaks through locked doors.

He says, “I’m sending you out there. Don’t worry. I’ll go with you. But you are going. If you are my disciples, you’ll get out there and do what I did.”

The Stones Will Cry Out

It can be dangerous to speak the truth. There may be repercussions. But if we choose silence, Creation will shout truth from the oceans to the mountain tops
