Reflection for a Lifetime - October 2

The church should set out to be part of the process of overthrowing political barbarians who deceptively and unjustly abuse their authority. As the chilling atmosphere of political hedonism seeks to establish its own kingdom, it is crucial to recognize that Jesus’ message is radically subversive and challenges those who wield tremendous power in their own favor. Thus, as it turns out, the journey of following the Crucified and Risen One and participating in the Kingdom of God is not merely astounding, but it also raises many a conflict with the ruling elites.
