Justice: God's Vision to Restore All Things (Part 3 of 5): "The Poor Among Us"
God is at work to make all things new.
We look around and see things that are not right. Something within us says, “No, that’s not the way it’s supposed to be!” We believe that in Christ, God is setting the world right. As we follow the Risen Jesus into the world, what does it look like to participate in God’s mission of justice?
May we live as agents of God's new creation: welcoming the stranger, caring for the vulnerable, loving the hurting and broken, proclaiming and demonstrating the Kingdom of God that has come and is yet to come.
Listen to this week's sermon focusing on Leviticus 25:35-38 and Luke 4:17-19.
In Leviticus 25, God shows special concern for the poor. In Luke 4, Jesus declares that the Jubilee is fulfilled in him as good news is proclaimed to the poor. But sometimes ideals and axioms from the world block us from seeing the nature of the Kingdom of God and how to faithfully follow Jesus in Jesus’ concern for the poor.
“My work with the poor and the incarcerated has persuaded me that the opposite of poverty is not wealth; the opposite of poverty is justice.” ― Bryan Stevenson
