Politics of Grace & Peace | And Why the Good News of Violence Is a Lie

What if peace doesn’t come through victory, strength, or violence? Paul’s argument is that there are a lot of gospels floating around in the world. But the version of good news you choose to trust matters. The one that tries to sell you victory and strength and violence and terror, or the one that offers you grace and self-giving in the service of others. That choice will determine your steps in the world. And the truth is, that message is just as prescient today as it was two thousand years ago. Empires are still trying to co-opt our imagination for their own ambitions. We see it again and again. Empires that try to convince us violence is necessary. That the cost of peace is the death of our innocence. That proximity to power is worth denying the way of Jesus. It is not.
