"When have you been the robber in this parable? I know I'm not the only one...if racism still exists, we are no better than the robbers who stripped this man of his dignity." @RachelDotzler
@RachelDotzler "We are antiracist, so far as we understand it. The problem is, I just don't think we understand it at all. And to go one step further, I don't think we want to understand it that far, because that means we have a lot of unlearning to do."
@RachelDotzler "Does anyone else find those words interesting? 'Do this and you will live'? What does Jesus mean by that? 'Live.' Like, was this guy gonna die? Did Jesus just threaten him? I mean, probably not, but it's interesting, isn't it? Loving our neighbor means, we will live?"
@RachelDotzler "People who don't know Jesus are actually closer to Jesus than we are...Jesus was legit the most privileged + most powerful human on earth + he gave it all up + he humbled himself before the marginalized + said 'You know what, I see you. I hear you. I am for you.'"
@RachelDotzler "Instead of relating to the robbers in the Good Samaritan, maybe let Jesus rob you of what you have always thought to be true. Let him rob you of your privilege...I will be better. You can do better. We can all do better."
