- Description
- This DVD contains a recording by the Alfred Street Baptist Church of the sermon "When the Verdict Hurts, Mark 15:21" given by Rev. Dr. Howard-John Wesley at the Alexandria, Virginia, church on July 14, 2013. The silver disc has black text printed on the front side with information about the video recorded on it and the complete contact information for the church. In the video Wesley stands at the wooden pulpit on a stage with a choir behind him in rows of wooden pews. He is flanked by women and men who sit behind the pulpit. Wesley wears a black cassock with red trim and buttons. The sermon begins with Wesley explaining his disappoint in the verdict of the case of Trayvon Martin's killer George Zimmerman announced the evening prior, followed by a reading of Mark 15:21. Wesley goes on to discuss his struggle with his reactions to the events through a theological perspective and through his position as a black man, separating at times his denies between "Howard-John" and "the Reverend Doctor Pastor." He continues by recounting the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and the story of Simon, who carried the cross for Jesus. Wesley relates Simon's role as one of being forced to carry the weight of an unjust verdict put upon another (Jesus), and compares it to the role of himself and the congregation in carrying the weight of the acquittal of Zimmerman. Wesley also notes that Simon was an African in Rome for Passover. He proclaims that God carried Simon, and He carried those from Africa through past unjust murders of black men, and that He will carry them through the current situation. He calls on the congregation to carry the weight for their children, drawing comparisons between them and Simon, who had two sons. Wesley says they must "carry it correctly" to prevent their children from only feeling anger and acting in violence, and instead "be productive." He ends by reassuring the congregation that faith in God will see them through and will help them.
