Jesus Was a Protester

 

Within the Christian life, there may be times when God calls us to complement our prayer with protesting, and throughout the Bible we see how Jesus purposefully intervened, acted, spoke, and was present in various situations in order to protest, dissent, demonstrate, object, question, defend, revolt, and challenge. Here are just a few examples:

When Jesus spent 40 days and nights in the wilderness (Matt. 4:1-11), he rejected the temptation of worldly power and boldly stood against Satan’s temptations — because Jesus was a protester.
