Biblical prophets looked ahead to a day of peace and justice, prophesying a day when nations will abolish war. The prophets also exhorted the people to “seek justice [and] rescue the oppressed…” (Isaiah 1:17).
Colombia has been caught in the midst of an internal armed conflict that has lasted for almost five decades. Tens of thousands of people have lost their lives, countless others have been disappeared, and more than 5 million have been forcibly displaced from their homes.
The good news is that people in the United States can support peace, justice, and human rights in concrete ways. We can stand with our sisters and brothers in Colombia, seeking God’s will for peace in Colombia.
