No, your eyes do not deceive you...the podcast is back! (It
never really left, but was definitely on leave of
absence for a while...very sorry about that - some of the details
are in the intro.)
Then it's on to part 18 of our series: Hope in the Time of
Covid.
In this episode, we take a look at the difficult-yet-essential
truth that the road to justice is paved in love. In this time when
historic injustices are being revealed with painful clarity, we
understand all the more the impulse of the oppressed to seek
justice by means of violence. Even those of us who face little
oppression can find ourselves shockingly enraged at minor
transgressions against "what is right!" And we reflexively assume
the person opposing us is the source of the wrong, our "enemy." If
we can overcome them, we can achieve "justice." But that's not how
true justice is ever established...
And, if you're the type who likes to read along, the biblical text
for this conversation can be found here: Ephesians 4:17-5:2 (NRSV)
