In Loving Memory of Rev. Jesse Jackson
We pause as a community of faith to honor and remember the life of Rev. Jesse Jackson, whose steadfast faith and lifelong pursuit of justice reflected his deep trust in God’s calling. Through his preaching, public witness, and tireless advocacy for equality and human dignity, he challenged our nation to live more fully into the promise of love and righteousness. His voice carried conviction, hope, and a persistent belief that faith must be lived out in action.
As we grieve his passing, we give thanks to God for the legacy he leaves behind: a legacy of courage, compassion, and unwavering commitment to what is right. His life reminds us that discipleship is not passive, but active, rooted in prayer and expressed through service.
We hold fast to the promise of Scripture:
"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith."
—2 Timothy 4:7
May God’s peace comfort all who mourn, and may Rev. Jackson’s example continue to inspire us to walk boldly in faith, justice, and love.
