Summary

This quote expresses the belief that those who support or accept wrongdoing are equally responsible as those who actually commit the act. It suggests that by tolerating or overlooking evil actions, individuals become complicit in the harm caused. Thus, it emphasizes the importance of not turning a blind eye or remaining silent in the face of injustice or immorality, as such inaction implies approval and enables the continuation of evil. Ultimately, it calls upon individuals to take a stand against wrongdoing and not contribute to its perpetuation through their complicity.

We had nothing to do with it, but what we can do is praise God for the coming of the Lord, who washed away the sins of the world by dying on the cross.
