Faith often requires movement before manifestation. In John 4, Jesus encounters a nobleman whose son is near death.

Here is a statement from his letter from the Birmingham jail that should encourage each of us to always seek to stamp out injustice whenever and wherever it rears its ugly head. “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.
