Redemption and Transformation, An Examination Through The Lens Of Christian And Jewish Theology, Easter and Passover: Rabbi Jess Talks with Reverend Amanda Barker
Rabbi Jess and Reverend Amanda Barker discuss the relationship of Redemption in Judaism and Christianity.
Our work is not within the walls of a church or temple, but being in this broken world, because the world has not yet been transformed or redeemed, we become the actors to reset our intention and act on behalf of God to tend to the marginalized and those suffering.
Redemption does not erase pain or death.
Jesus' ministry was the primary healing to the marginalized, the example set that we become actors in redemption, our world becomes God work to redeem the world.
The world is upside down, our work becomes to right the inversion of the world through love and care.
