Reflecting on the challenges contained in Jesus Christ’s ‘Sermon on the Mount’…

In a world that’s about promoting ourselves, let’s listen to the perspectives of others;
In a world that’s proud of standing on its own two feet, let’s be submissive to God;
In a world that’s ever demanding its expectations be met, let’s always be thankful;
In a world that’s all about taking, let’s give;
In a world that upholds our right to hold a grudge against those who have offended us, let’s make forgiveness our default;
In a world which is about protecting what we have and being fearful of those we don’t know, let’s welcome the strangers;
In a world that despises the weak and oppressed, let’s embrace them as brothers and sister;
In a world where accusing, hateful speech reigns, let’s speak words of encouragement;
In a world consumed by apathy and indifference, let’s show love and compassion;
In a world that offers a wide road, let’s take the narrow way of Jesus Christ instead.
