Jones knew oppression & persecution - yet he also knew the amazing grace and hope-filled joy that defied despair. In God’s love, he found vertical assurance for horizontal endurance.

We are the heirs of that assurance. We walk in the endurance of Absalom Jones. With him, we proclaim: oppression does not have the final word. “Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning” (Ps 30:5).
God has kept us, is keeping us, and will keep us forever. The former things have passed. God declares new things. Let us step forward in hope-filled joy.
