A Biblical phrase that has become popular in recent years is "giving voice to the voiceless." Such a phrase assumes that people cannot speak for themselves. Horton Hears a Who reminded us this week that we don't give "voice to the voiceless" so much as "amplify the voice that others do not hear."
The Who's were speaking to Horton, he was just gifted to hear them because of the size of his ears and gifted to respond because of his compassion. He risked his very life for them. Who are the people in our community that we don't speak for, but amplify the concerns of? Who are the people that we risk it all for, in order to show the love of God? Who are the Who's among us, waiting to be loved?
