Port City Community Church - Audio Podcast

We have a built-in sense of justice that’s more karma than shalom. We rally for our rights and attempt to level the playing field and balance the scales. If we get everyone to act, think, and behave like us, justice will be served. We attempt to achieve God’s dream for unity on our terms. The way of Jesus is radically different than what we’re prone to think. In every moment, we have the choice to live under the ways of this world or be guided by the rule of Christ’s love. The Gospel calls us into a way of life that doesn’t serve our rights but instead calls us to serve others. Love requires personal and social responsibility. Living under the rule of Christ’s love compels us to care. Justice flows from the love we’ve received. Jesus brings us into a right relationship with Him, and therein is our hope to live rightly related to everyone else. The heart of God is the unity of His people. Unity is not merely the absence of disagreement; unity is a miracle.
