Warning: Jesus upsets the powers, and the powers are capable of anything, even hurting children. We know it’s true; we have seen such violence in our own time. Gaza; Sudan; Ukraine. U.S. America, where basic nutrition programs are dangled over a fiery pit of congressional posturing. Texas, where health care for children – not only gender-affirming health care, but all health care for poor kids – is viewed as dangerously expensive. The text calls us to reaffirm our commitment to the children in our care.
