In addition to being a frequent commentator on issues of race, democracy and civil rights, Joseph wrote the award-winning books “Waiting ‘Til the Midnight Hour: A Narrative History of Black Power in America, “Dark Days, Bright Nights: From Black Power to Barack Obama," and “Stokely: A Life" as well as “The Black Power Movement: Rethinking the Civil Rights-Black Power Era” and “Neighborhood Rebels: Black Power at the Local Level.”" His most recent book is "Freedom Season: How 1963 Transformed America's Civil Rights Revolution."

Szent Péter és Szent Pál apostol ** Mt 16,13-19 ** Amikor Jézus Fülöp Cézáreájának vidékére ment, megkérdezte tanítványait: ,,Kinek tartják az emberek az Emberfiát?'' Ők ezt felelték: ,,Egyesek Keresztelő Jánosnak, mások Illésnek, mások meg Jeremiásnak, vagy egynek a próféták közül.'' Erre megkérdezte őket: ,,És ti kinek tartotok engem?'' Simon Péter válaszolt: ,,Te vagy a Krisztus, az élő Isten Fia.'' Jézus azt felelte neki: ,,Boldog vagy, Simon, Jónás fia! Mert nem a test és vér nyilatkoztatta ki ezt neked, hanem az én Atyám, aki a mennyekben van. És mondom neked: Te Péter vagy, és én erre a kősziklára fogom építeni egyházamat, s az alvilág kapui nem vesznek erőt rajta. Neked adom a mennyek országának kulcsait. Amit megkötsz a földön, meg lesz kötve a mennyekben is, és amit feloldasz a földön, föl lesz oldva a mennyekben is.'' | Felolvassa: Varga László |

Hnojná brána je pravdepodobne Črepinovou bránou, o ktorej hovorí Jeremiáš. Takto riekol Hospodin: Choď, kúp si hlinený krčah od hrnčiara, vezmi so sebou niektorých zo starších ľudu i zo starších kňazstva, vyjdi do údolia Ben Hinnóm, ktoré je pri vchode do Črepinovej brány, a hlásaj tam slová, ktoré ti poviem.

Jak se vyrovnáváme s tím, když se něco nepovede podle našich představ? A jak se vyrovnáváme s tím, když se za něco modlíme a ono to nevyjde?V knize Jeremiáš máme tři "postavy", kterým nejde nic tak, jak by chtěli a jak si představovali: Jeremiáš, Židé a Bůh. Jaké jsou jejich reakce na tuto skutečnost?Jer. 38, 14 - 18Král Sidkiáš si pak nechal proroka Jeremiáše přivést ke třetímu vchodu do Hospodinova chrámu. “Chci od tebe slyšet slovo,” řekl král Jeremiášovi. “Nic přede mnou netaj.”“Copak bys mě nezabil, kdybych ti to řekl?” odpověděl Jeremiáš Sidkiášovi. “I kdybych ti poradil, neposlechneš mě.”Sidkiáš ale Jeremiášovi potají odpřisáhl: “Jakože je živ Hospodin, který nám dal život, nezabiji tě ani tě nevydám do rukou těch, kdo tě chtějí zabít.”Nato Jeremiáš Sidkiášovi řekl: “Tak praví Hospodin, Bůh zástupů, Bůh Izraele: Pokud se dobrovolně vzdáš velitelům babylonského krále, zachráníš si život a toto město nebude vypáleno; tak přežiješ i s celou rodinou. Pokud se však velitelům babylonského krále nevzdáš, pak město padne do rukou babyloňanů. Ti je vypálí a jejich rukám neunikneš ani ty.”Jer. 39, 4 - 7Jakmile je judský král Sidkijáš zahlédl, dal se se všemi vojáky na útěk. Opustili město v noci přes královskou zahradu, brankou mezi zdmi. Babylonské vojsko se pustilo za nimi. Zajali ho a odvedli k bab. králi. Bab. král před Sidk. očima popravil jeho syny; popravil také veškerou judskou šlechtu. Sidkijášovi pak vyloupl oči, spoutal ho bronzovými řetězy a odvlekl ho do Babylonu. Jer. 42, 1 - 19Všichni vojenští velitelé i všechen lid, pak přišli a oslovili proroka Jeremijáše: “Vyslyš prosím naši pokornou prosbu. Modli se za nás k Hospodinu, svému Bohu, za celý tento pozůstatek lidu. Kéž nám Hospodin, tvůj Bůh oznámí, kam máme jít a co máme dělat.”“Dobrá,” odpověděl jim prorok Jeremijáš. “Budu se modlit k Hospodinu, vašemu Bohu, jak žádáte. Cokoli vám Hospodin odpoví, to vám oznámím a nic vám nezamlčím.”Po deseti dnech pak Jeremiáš dostal slovo Hospodinovo. “Tak praví Hospodin, Bůh Izraele: Jestliže zůstanete v této zemi, vybuduji vás a nezbořím, zasadím vás a nevykořením, neboť upustím od zla, které jsem na vás uvalil. Nebojte se babylonského krále. Vždyť já jsem s vámi, abych vás zachránil a vysvobodil vás z jeho ruky. Jestliže se rozhodnete jít do Egypta a usadit se tam, pak vás tam v Egyptě stihne meč, jehož se bojíte, a dolehne na vás hlad, jehož se obáváte, takže tam v Egyptě zemřete. Jer 43, 2 - 3“Lžeš! Hospodin, náš Bůh, by tě neposlal říci: ‘Nechoďte do Egypta.' Jer 2, 2 - 11“Vzpomínám, jak jsi v mládí byla oddaná, jak jsi milovala jako nevěsta, jak si mě následovala pouští, v tom nehostinném kraji. Izrael býval Hospodinu svatý, byl prvotinou jeho úrody; všichni, kdo jej hltali, bývali potrestáni a přišlo na ně neštěstí,” praví Hospodin. “Co na mně vaši otcové našli špatného, že ode mě odešli tak daleko?  Už se neptali: ‘Kde je Hospodin, který nás vyvedl z Egypta.' ‘Ani kněží se neptali: Kde je Hospodin?'Jer. 3 11 - 13Jer. 31, 31 - 34“Hle, přicházejí dny, praví Hospodin, kdy s domem Izraele a s domem Judy uzavřu novou smlouvu. Svůj zákon vložím do jejich nitra a napíšu jim ho na srdce. Budu jejich Bohem a oni budou mým lidem. Už se nebudou navzájem poučovat a jedni druhé nabádat: ‘Poznejte Hospodina!' všichni  mě totiž budou znát, od nejmenších až po největší z nich, praví Hospodin. Odpustím jim jejich viny a už nikdy nevzpomenu na jejich hřích.”Žd. 8, 6 - 12:Ježíši však byla svěřena mnohem vznešenější služba, neboť se stal prostředníkem lepší smlouvy, založené na lepších zaslíbeních. Kdyby té první smlouvě nebylo co vytknout, nebylo by ji potřeba nahrazovat jinou. Řím. 8, 1 - 3A proto již není žádné odsouzení pro ty, kdo jsou v Kristu Ježíši. Zákon Ducha života v Kristu Ježíši tě totiž osvobodil od zákona hříchu a smrti. Co bylo pro Zákon kvůli slabosti těla nemožné, to vykonal Bůh: Poslal svého vlastního Syna, aby se vypořádal s hříchem v těle, jaké má hříšný člověk.
