4.23-Standing with the people who standing with those who need help
4.23-
I was listening to NPR last week and there was a man being interviewed who was a protester in the Umbrella protests in Hong Kong. They had come to arrest some of the people who had been a part of this protest and he was not with them. He said he felt bad because he didn't get arrested with them. He was standing up for freedom of the press and freedom of assembly and the leaders from mainland China had started to limit these freedoms.
He said, "Finally, they came and arrested me and I felt happy that they had not left me out I wouldn't want them to be arrest and me not be arrested"

There is joy in the heart of being a part of a courageous group of
people. I have heard many of the workers in the hospitals say they had a
day off and wanted to get back there to be doing the work with the
co-workers.
Reminds me of the words about Moses in the days of the
Passover and Exodus of the Jewish people from slavery and oppression.
Hebrews 11.
"By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the king’s edict. By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, choosing rather to endure ill-treatment with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin, considering the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he was looking to the reward".
