[jesus] Said That They Will Know We

Maybe We Are A Little Crazy. After All, We Believe In Things We Don't See. The Scriptures Say That Faith Is "being Sure Of What We Hope For And Certain Of What We Do Not See" (heb. 11:1). We Believe Poverty Can End Even Though It Is All Around Us. We Believe In Peace Even Though We Hear Only Rumours Of Wars. And Since We Are People Of Expectation, We Are So Convinced That Another World Is Coming That We Start Living As If It Were Already Here.

Over And Over, When I Ask God Why All Of These Injustices Are Allowed To Exist In The World, I Can Feel The Spirit Whisper To Me, You Tell Me Why We Allow This To Happen. You Are My Body, My Hands, My Feet.

We Are Faithful Not To The Triumphant Golden Eagle (ironically, Also An Imperial Symbol Of Power In Rome) But To The Slaughtered Lamb.

Rather Than Finding The Devil "out There," We Battle The Devil Within Us. The Revolution Starts Inside Each Of Us.
