To Kill a Mockingbird: Justice, Mercy, Humility (Micah 6:8)

In To Kill a Mockingbird, Atticus Finch defends a Black man accused of rape in 1930s Alabama. He knows he will lose; he defends Tom Robinson anyway. He does not grandstand—he simply does his job with integrity. What does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. Atticus embodies all three: justice in defense of the innocent, mercy in how he treats even Bob Ewell, humility in his quiet dedication. The prophet's requirements are not heroic—they are faithful.
