Have we defined righteous as religious? The righteousness of Jesus stands in contrast to the religion of the day. Where we have conflated what it is to be righteous with being “right” in the empire He offers us something different- an upside-down kingdom. What is revealed in Jesus invites us to reshape how we see blessing and calls us to act justly, walk humbly and love mercy- a calling we can respond to because of God with us.
