Hope in the Time of COVID, Part 13 - Jesus and Divine Justice
Manage episode 295122943 series 2701527
As those called to share in God's project of restoration, justice is at the heart of our work.
But what does the Bible mean by "justice"? The term easily conjures feelings and images not shalom (peace), but punishment - that divine justice is defined by the reward of the righteous and the proper condemnation of the wicked. (This is where much of the "law and order" language we hear in connection to politics arises!)
But a closer look reveals God's concern is not judgment but compassion. Above all, to be people of divine justice is to be those who ensure the shalom of the least and lowly...
The racial justice resources mentioned in the intro can be found here.
If you'd like to follow along, the passage is:
This sermon was preached on June 7, 2020 at Canvas Presbyterian Church (Irvine, CA). If you'd like to share in the whole worship service or find previous sermons, they are available on the Canvas Vimeo page. Or join us via live stream every Sunday morning at 10:30AM (Pacific Time)!
