Many of us lament as we look to the world around us—we see the fear, hatred, anger, and abuse of each other and the natural world, and we think, “When will it end?” But what we forget is, “we are the ones we’re waiting for.” As followers of Jesus, we are called to ask the hard questions, work together to solve problems, care for all people, reach across differences, and imagine—and work towards—a new world.
