At a time when there is so much stress, strain, and strife in the world around us, how can Americans be more like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in early 2022 and well beyond?
Fox News Digital posed that question and more to evangelist Alveda King, founder of the pro-life organization Speak for Life and a niece of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., during an engaging discussion by phone on Friday evening ahead of the federal holiday on Monday, Jan. 17, 2022, which is devoted to honoring her uncle’s memory.
She responded, “I can honestly say to you that my uncle, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., sought to be like Jesus Christ.”
Ask for forgiveness — and forgive others
“Now of course he wasn’t successful,” she added, “because he wasn’t perfect. He was a human being. But my dad [A.D. King], my granddad [Rev. Martin Luther King Sr.], and my uncle — they would all repent. They would ask for forgiveness.”
“And they wanted to learn to forgive others as well.”
ALVEDA KING SHARES HOW TO STAY FOCUSED ON CHRIST, NO MATTER WHAT
Alveda King added, “With that type of attitude, they were able to give us examples, to be examples. And my uncle, Martin Luther King Jr., was a very good example of how God loves us and how God forgives. He really walked in those paths during his lifetime. I was seventeen years old in 1968 when he was killed — the very next year, I was married — and so I [as a young person] had an opportunity to see him live his life.”
Dr. Alveda King talked to Fox News Digital on Friday evening, Jan. 14, 2022 — just ahead of the nation’s remembrance of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on Monday, Jan. 17, 2022, a federal holiday.
She noted that yes, he wrote “great sermons and great books, and he delivered great messages — but he actually did his best to live those examples that he spoke about and wrote about.”
So — try to be more like Jesus Christ. Ask for forgiveness. Forgive others. And be a living example of those tenets in daily life.
And there’s more.
Keep…
