Dr. King adds tremendous weight to the words he wrote in response.

Perhaps I should pay more attention to Dr. King’s message because I am white and he is black. He speaks from a perspective I cannot relate to. His experience of life in these United States is not the same as mine. We share the same vocational identity. I can certainly learn from his perspective.

There are a host of reasons why any child of God should pay more attention to the message and witness of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Whether any child of God deems these reasons worthy or not is of no real concern. As it turns out, there is only one real reason any child of God should pay more attention.

Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. shared gospel truth. Is he to be revered as a modern-day prophet? That is beside the point. He is to be revered and listened to because he spoke gospel truth and called out human misinterpretation of it.

Gospel truth is even-handed. In other words, it applies to every child of God equally. Any time any child of God points out the inconsistent interpretation of gospel truth, every child of God should pay attention. Inequality will always exist in the earthly kingdom. It is always a good time to listen to what God’s truth says to it.

Rev. Yarboro is the Pastor of First Presbyterian Church, Wetumpka.
