At the next pull off you see another woman, dressed similarly. You notice that they look like everyday people, not someone you'd expect to see working as a prostitute. At the third pull off, there is a parked car with a man sitting in the driver's seat. He's not there to hire anyone; he's there to drive the girls, make sure they are working, and then take their earnings. In fact, it's most likely that one of the girls calls him her man (meaning boyfriend or husband).
I don't know what a normal reaction in the US would be. My guess is that some people would be outraged, some people would be apathetic, and many people would ignore these people or be oblivious to what was happening. Of course, some would even think that this was just their job and would hire them. In Bulgaria, you might hear a response to seeing this scene like this: "Oh, strange. That prostitute is white. Usually they're Gypsy. Ugh, Gypsies are terrible. All they ever do is steal and lie and sometimes beat people up and kill people. Or they are prostitutes. They really can't be human. That's what I think--they're not really human. They can't be to live like that."
What would it look like if Jesus pursued these woman? He would give them worth--would see them as individuals and He would love them truly, not like their men--the ones who sell them, abuse them, and make them think that all of that was normal love. He would tell them that they are broken--broken by their own sin, broken by abuse, addiction, and exploitation. But they are also chosen--chosen by the good pleasure of God, chosen to live a new life of faith, chosen for love, satisfaction, and acceptance.
Our team is involved in fighting the injustice of human trafficking. I have learned a lot about prevention, rescue, and restoration. I've learned a lot about the strategies of pimps and how in many ways prostitution and trafficking are parts of a culture and are closely connected to generational poverty. But the most important thing I've learned is that the men, women and children who are either being exploited or who are exploiting others are people, just like me. I am broken by sin. I am chosen by God. We all need the Gospel. We all need the unrelenting, never ending, always and forever, choosing and healing love of Jesus.
