As a 17-year-old, the sermon really hits home for me, especially the emphasis on empathy and standing up for those who are bullied. Jesus' compassion for the vulnerable is a powerful reminder to not stay silent when I see someone being mistreated. The idea of defending the oppressed and following the Golden Rule resonates strongly, making me realize that even small acts of kindness can make a big difference. I also appreciate the call to model positive behavior and create a culture of respect—it’s something I want to be more intentional about in my own school and online interactions.
