Be a Witness (Part 2)

As I mentioned in the last post, LeBron James has declined to sign a letter to China, asking them to stop sponsoring genocide. For what reason did he decline? Too lazy to do some research? Too wrapped up in selfish pursuits?

Imagine having the power to stop that kind of worldwide tragedy, and choosing instead to do nothing.

For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. (Ephesians 3:19-21)

I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know... his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. (Ephesians 1:18-20)

The power of God that can do more than we ask or imagine resides in us. How shall we bear witness to this? Does LeBron, who to my knowledge does not have the power of resurrection within him, have more power than we do?
