Engaging God Through Justice

Pastor John Van Sloten of Marda Loop Chuch presents part four of our series on The Beatitudes from Jesus’s Sermon on the Mount. This week, Pastor John unpacks the fourth Beatitude (blessing), "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled." Considering recent events around the world today, vaccine inequality, racism, climate change… it is hard to imagine that God faces this continually moment by moment, time after time and weeps with us… and here we are, yearning to make things right, hungering and thirsting for justice. Knowing we can not live with out God’s justice and victory prevailing. Hopeful that God will keep his promise and make all things new again. In the meantime, all we can do is reach out to each other. See each other. Wonder, rage, grieve with each other. And Transform together knowing God through our small acts of love and acceptance.
