Measures to protest towards Discrimination
example : let we see how jesus responds for it(Discrimination).
During the time of Jesus, there was discrimination and racism. Discrimination came in many different forms: it was religious, social, economic, gender, and racial. The poor, prostitutes, publicans, women, lepers, and gentiles were all discriminated against. The Samaritans, perhaps, is an excellent example of racism due to their mixed heritage. They were despised and discriminated by the Jews.
Jesus did not remain quiet before any of these forms of discrimination and racism. He spoke up! Each time He issued a public command or an admonition to care for the poor and the least of these, ate with prostitutes and publicans, touched and healed a leper or someone who was unclean, He was protesting the discrimination and injustice of His time.
Among the many instances, there is one that rises to the surface. When Jesus went from Judea to Galilee and decided to go through Sychar, which means “city of drunkards”, and is located in Samaria (John 4:1-42). This route was hardly ever traveled by the Jews. They avoided Samaria, yet Jesus invested plenty of time talking to a Samaritan woman, of not such a good reputation. By doing this, Jesus was clearly saying: “Samaritan Lives Matter!” In another instance, when He set the Good Samaritan as the example above the Jewish priest and Levite, He was cutting to the chase of the racism of His time and clearly affirming: “Samaritan Lives Matter!” (Luke 10:25-37)
The cleansing of the temple was another instant of protest, this one was harsh, a powerful condemnation to the Jewish religion and its establishment. Some have recently tried to make it look like a mild occasion, but according to Scripture, there was righteous indignation. There were people thrown out, tables and chairs were “overturned”, which means that they were flipped and ended upside down. Interesting to note that after this incident, the very people who had limited access to the temple, the lame, the blind, and the children came to Him, and He spent time with them and healed them (Matthew 21:12-17).
If it is true that Jesus commanded us, His followers, to love our enemies, turn the other cheek, walk the extra mile, and give our coat, it is also a reality that with His example He made it clear that loving people and standing against injustice, abuse, and discrimination are not mutually exclusive, they go hand in hand. A clear reminder that we cannot call ourselves loving Christians while we sit silently and allow people, whom we claim to love and whom we wish to save, to suffer unjustly at the hands of others! Jesus never felt that His teachings were more important than the people. His teachings were meant to bless. The Gospel that Jesus preached was not limited to sermons; neither should ours.
Jesus said, “Give to Ceasar what belongs to Ceasar” yet He took an active role as many marched and exalted Him during His triumphal entry to Jerusalem in fulfillment of prophecy (Matthew 21:1-11). Although He did not intend to take an earthly throne or to overthrow the Romans, the crowd surely thought He would, perhaps, some of His disciples agreed with the crowd. Today, many would have said, “Look at Jesus being political.” Although He was not pursuing an earthly throne by participating in that triumphal entry, or could we say march, in my opinion, He definitely established that His Kingdom of grace, love, and compassion was far better than the abusive and ruthless Roman Empire. The Romans hated it so much that they crucified Him a few days later.
