Perhaps.
But I doubt it.
Here’s WorldNetDaily’s intro to the story:
| Giving out Gospel tracts becomes a federal case
A federal civil rights lawsuit has been filed on behalf of a 67-year-old Georgia man who was arrested, held in jail for two days and convicted without being given access to a lawyer for passing out Gospel tracts on a public street. |
Jesus didn’t get access to a lawyer either. What would He do if He were in this man’s shoes? (Then again, it could easily be argued that He indeed is in this man’s shoes!)
Maybe this man could settle for an apology from the city fathers, the way the Apostle Paul did once upon a time.
Or maybe he could consider it suffering for righteousness’ sake and let it go at that.
But to make a federal case of it?
Frankly, though, I find it hard to let some things go in my own instances of I-Want-Justice-Done-For-Me. What I have written is a poke in my own heart.
