Self-preservation closes us off to our deepest selves and to each other. Vulnerability opens us to different pathways forward. We must risk opening doors to others in order to have our own deepest needs met.
We encounter stories of God’s repeated saving action in the midst of oppression…we remember our own latent collective potential to interrupt cycles of oppression, our shared power to reach up and out in order to liberate, reconcile, and flourish.
Jesus creates space for anger and disruption in answering the call to justice. He doesn’t walk away from the chaos he creates, but corrects it with a power with and for others.
