No. It’s been dark. For sooooo long.
This is THE LIGHT BREAKING IN!!!
It’s time to let your light shine. Don’t pull your punches. Swing like you want to knock down all injustice.
I appreciate the poetry.
But it’s a misdiagnosis.
It’s the darkness that is dying, not the light.
This moment needs more than reactionary rage. It needs fierce revolutionary light.
Please, for the love of all that’s holy, do not get in the way of this GREAT LEVELLING.
The Spirit calls, “Come out my people” from the Christendom project of white supremacist colonialism.
Leave and find a people who will follow Jesus into the streets in unapologetic solidarity with those who bleed.
If your church is contributing to the hardening of your heart, leave.
Find a people long to live in the ache of God for a new world of justice
Don’t hide in secret waiting till you climb higher in a system which is falling to then ‘be an influencer’.
Run down to ground zero. Relocate to where God is on the move.
Herod’s understanding of influence is not our model.
Pilate’s take of truth is not our way of knowing.
The Pharisees’ scapegoating isn’t our way.
Caiaphas’ realpolitik is not our politics.
Jesus’ zealotry of nonviolent revolutionary love is.
Our take away from Christ’s passion is not suppose to be,
“Hate to be that guy!”
or,
“Glad it’s him and not me!”
But “I will follow.”
“Must Jesus bear the cross alone,
And all the world go free?
No, there’s a cross for everyone,
And there’s a cross for me.”
“Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.” -Jesus
