As One with Authority (Mark 1:21-28)
Manage episode 400039036 series 1059960
Why? Because Jesus speaks as one with authority—a new kind of authority; he speaks the truth … always.
Jesus is, according to this definition, a faithful jihadist who squares off against the powers that preserve injustice by privileging certain classes of "worthy" people, giving them access—while excluding the powerless and the disadvantaged.
And we who are trying to follow him don't get to excuse ourselves from the messiness. We don't get to stand by silently while some folks get kicked to the back of the bus, or dragged kicking and screaming back across the border, or singled out for the bathrooms they use. We have our own tyrants before whom we need to speak.
