Reflection for the Week- April 27th 2009

The church should set out to be part of the process to overthrow political barbarians who sleekly and unjustly abuse their authority. Jesus message is radically subversive and challenges those who wield abortive, yet tremendous power in their own favor. As the chilling atmosphere of political hedonism seeks to establish its own kingdom, Christians want none of it. The journey of following the crucified and risen One and participating in the Kingdom of God is not merely astounding, but it should also raise many a conflict with the ruling elites along the way.
