To live an active faith connecting God, people and community.
These are not easy times.
As we begin to ‘open up’ we may be feeling relieved or maybe even more uncertain and vulnerable. The early followers of Jesus were not living in easy times either.
They faced disease, economic uncertainty, great income disparity and injustice maintained by force.
Jesus knew that standing up for justice
and protecting the
rights and the lives of the vulnerable
during such a time is not easy.
Yet Jesus encouraged his followers to do just that. He told his first disciples “I am sending you out like sheep in the midst of wolves.” He advised them to be “wise as serpents and gentle as doves.”
(Matthew 10:16)
With so much information coming at us and so many expert opinions being shared, we all need to use our own wisdom
to sort through it all. We need to seek reliable sources and trust our own common sense. We need to put the care of others before our own comfort.
We need to speak out for justice, but do it gently, firmly but gently, so that when we come through this time we will have built a more just and peaceful society for everyone.
Jesus has more advice for being faithful witnesses to the gospel during challenging times. Join our online worship.
