That’s What It Looks Like (Luke 6:17-26)

Douglass Church - Douglass Blvd Christian Church

Jesus says, "I’m talking about a cosmic rebalancing of the scales, where those who’ve had to hide who they are and whom they love will be welcomed and celebrated, where parents will no longer have to live in fear of their children being stopped by the police—just because they happen to have skin with a different color or worship in another way, where strangers and immigrants won’t have to endure the spite of the 'home team' and their children being ripped from their arms and thrown into cages, where women no longer have to be afraid that their gender will put them at greater risk for violence and exploitation, and where the people in power will no longer acquire and maintain that power on the backs of the poor and the voiceless.

“And all of this isn’t merely a hope for some world in the future … after you die. The vision I’m setting down is first of all for you, for this world … right here, right now.”
