Quote by Martin Luther King Jr.

Christ want to point this out and to warn His followers that in the world everyone should live as though he were alone and should consider His Word and preaching as the very greatest thing on earth, thinking this way to himself: I see my neighbor and the whole city, and yes the whole world, living differently. All those who are great or noble or rich, the princes and the lords, are allied with it. Nevertheless I have an ally who is greater than all of them, namely, Christ and His Word. When I am all alone, therefore, I am still not alone. Because I have the Word of God, I have Christ with me, together with all the dear angels and all the saints since the beginning of the world. Actually there is a bigger crowd and a more glorious procession surrounding me than there could be in the whole world now. Only I cannot see it with my eyes, and I have to watch and bear the offense of having so many people forsake me or live and act in opposition to me.

Summary

This quote highlights the idea that even though one may feel alone or isolated in a world that seems to be going against their beliefs or values, they are never truly alone. They have an ally in Christ and his Word that is greater than any earthly support. Despite prevailing societal norms or influential people, the individual can find solace, strength, and companionship through their relationship with Christ. They are reminded that they are surrounded by a greater crowd of angels and saints, even though they may not see it with their physical eyes.
