- Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. personally encountered Jesus Christ in early January 1956. He does not make a public recorded mention of this until 27 January 1957, when preaching at Dexter Avenue Baptist Church, in a sermon notated by the Montgomery Advertiser, a local newspaper.
At the age of 27, on 31 Jan. 1956, the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church parsonage was bombed, ripping a hole through the house & front steps & leaving a scar in the concrete which is still visible today. His immediate family was inside the parsonage at the time of the explosion. Dr. King did not take to a pulpit to speak succinctly about his personal experience with Jesus in Jan. 1956, as Montgomery Improvement Assoc. leaders & residents were counting on him to be calm in the face of great personal harm & adversity. He spoke from the pulpit before & afterwards on the words of Jesus from Matthew 5:43-45.
At the age of 29, Dr. King was nearly stabbed to death with a letter opener on 20 Sept. 1958. When stabbed, part of the letter opener went close to the aorta, & some of the opener remained sticking out of his chest. He was operated on & recovered over a period of several weeks.
Many are familiar with the public audio recording recalling his 1956 personal encounter with Jesus from late in his sermon at Mt. Pisgah Missionary Baptist Church in Chicago, IL on 27 August 1967. Near the start of that sermon, he refers to Luke 12:13-21. Because of what Jesus Christ did on the cross, Jesus is the great physician who can heal us from all our sickness & wounds. Jesus & the Holy Spirit are the Balm in Gilead today.
““…Even though Martin Luther King Jr., came from a line of African American preachers in his family he was also influenced from what he learned while attending Crozer (Theological Seminary), a predominantly white seminary. While studying at Crozer, King would be exposed to various styles of sermon arrangements. Those styles included the Jewel Sermon, the Roman Candle Sermon, & the Classification Sermon. The Jewel Sermon involved looking at an idea from multiple angles. The Roman Candle Sermon contained a series of loosely related points. The Classification Sermon involved placing people or things into different classes or groups. A number of King’s sermons would fall into the Classification category which was common to the folk preaching that African Americans were used to. From time to time he would also show the ability to mix styles as some preachers did. Because Dr. King had a handle on an array of sermon arrangement styles he would be able to reach all audiences instead of being just able to preach to the black community…. he learned that in order to fully interpret what was written in the Bible he had to know the historical context in which the texts were written. This form of biblical interpretation enabled King to be able to relate biblical characters & stories to the to the current time setting.
Dr. King did not take sermon preparation lightly. Prior to The Civil Rights movement he spent 15 hours in preparation….”” From, “The Life & Writing of Martin Luther King Jr.,” by Terrell M. Harris, Wesley Theological Seminary, © 2010.

Thank God for MLK. Dont forget!
This speech shook me to my core and gave me chills!!! I believe beyond the shadow of a doubt that God's hand and spirit guided Dr. King like he said,"till the end of the world"!
Yesssssssssssss
King NEVER preached the Gospel of Jesus Christ! He was a Civil Rights Leader! And I am an ELDERLY BLACK woman who vividly remembers seeing and hearing his speeches on TV and radio, saw his writings at the COLGATE DIVINITY COLLAGE in Rochester, NY! He denied the virgin birth of Jesus, denied His Deity, believed in Mahatma Ghandi, Greek philosophy and politics! He was a womanizer, and never taught the Bible!
@@jayonnaj18 It seems you have never heard his sermon "The Drum Major instinct" or "The Road to Jericho"....In the Road to Jericho, King clearly teaches about The Good Samaritan which is part of the gospel of Jesus Christ...And in the Drum Major Instinct he closes it out with one of the most moving and enduring word pictures of our Savior's life Ive ever heard ...The deeds of a great man far outweigh his humans flaws which you yourself also have...King David slept with Bathsheba but is remembered for having slayed Goliath.... Solomon had 700 wives and 300 concubines but was the wisest and richest king in history...People criticize King and have never had to face down an angry white mob, never had their house firebombed, or had a burning cross on their front lawn, or were stabbed in the chest with a letter opener...They've never made the ultimate sacrifice but have the audacity to pass judgement on those who have... Unbelievable!!! Smh
Oh yeah and people criticizing King also never knew the eerie feeling of having multiple phone calls at 2 and 3 in the morning with some stranger leaving death threats
Greatest orator in American history, who had the heart of love. He didn't take his sermons in context, however. He saw through the lens of social justice, rather than a kingdom that's not of this world.
You never walk alone
What a courageous man!!!
GOD Bless You Martin Luther King!😭🙏
