KHQ.COM - Benjamin Watson who plays for the New Orleans
Saints posted the following on his Facebook page and it has since gone viral:
"At some point while I was playing or preparing to play
Monday Night Football, the news broke about the Ferguson Decision. After trying
to figure out how I felt, I decided to write it down. Here are my thoughts:
[….]
I'M ENCOURAGED, because ultimately the problem is not a SKIN
problem, it is a SIN problem. SIN is the reason we rebel against authority. SIN
is the reason we abuse our authority. SIN is the reason we are racist,
prejudiced and lie to cover for our own. SIN is the reason we riot, loot and
burn.
BUT I'M ENCOURAGED because God has provided a solution for
sin through the his son Jesus and with it, a transformed heart and mind. One
that's capable of looking past the outward and seeing what's truly important in
every human being. The cure for the Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin, Tamir Rice
and Eric Garner tragedies is not education or exposure. It's the Gospel. So,
finally, I'M ENCOURAGED because the Gospel gives mankind hope."
