"This Could Be Your Daughter: Stop Human Trafficking"

With Easter coming in a few short weeks, Christians are ready to celebrate the pinnacle Holy Day of the year: Jesus Christ rising from the dead. I'm looking forward to the big crowd at church and singing the hymns that proclaim the glory of our God!

But, this year I'll be hearing familiar Easter praise in a new light. Human trafficking has come to the forefront of my mind - not because it's in the news in far-off places, but because there are cases in the USA, in Wisconsin, in Door County, in Sturgeon Bay. Phrases like, "No Longer Slaves" and "Redeemed" mean something different when we live in a world where people are physically stolen, sold, bought, and used. 

The Hebrew Passover (March 23 - March 30 this year) commemorates the night when millions of slaves were freed from Egypt and the physical cruelty they endured there. The Christian Easter celebration (April 1 this year) calls Jesus "Redeemer," because He bought us out of slavery to sin, to be free in the Spirit of God.

Christians should be on the front lines of this fight against human trafficking. It's our story. It's our life. It's our Gospel. It's our hope. "Slaves Set Free" is a phrase that should resonate for us, because that's who we are.
