🌟 Honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. – A Martyr for Faith & Justice ✝️
Today, we remember and honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a true martyr for Christianity and civil rights. His unwavering commitment to justice, peace, and equality was deeply rooted in his faith, and he courageously followed the call to love and serve, even in the face of persecution.
Dr. King’s life and legacy echo the words of Matthew 5:9:
"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God."
As we reflect on his sacrifice and his dream of a world united in love and justice, let us pray:
