The Story of Ben Lay
The story of Ben Lay is one of those forgotten stories that imperils the nation. It is the story of how God destroys oppression. It is the story of the weak confounding the strong. It is the story that Mary tells in the magnificat and anticipates as the ultimate end of all evil and corruption (Luke 1:51-53). It is how Jesus triumphed over the corruptions of both the religious authorities of his time as well as the political authorities of Rome by laying down his life to purchase a people for Himself. It how Jesus’s disciple Paul described our greatest strength, not in words of power and politics but in weakness and truth (2 Cor. 12:10).
So I invite you into the story and lesson of Ben Lay. And I invite you out or your timidity into boldness for Christ and His word, and the way of the cross. [The picture above on the right is the cave that Ben Lay lived out his last days.]
