The Grace of Christ be with you!
After Jesus’ resurrection and ascension, his disciples were confronted with a choice to obey God’s or the religious authorities. How can the church discern when its civil disobedience honors God and is not an excuse to not be held responsible for its actions?
-
When consequences are accepted.
-
When an injustice in society is revealed.
-
When non-violence in word and deeds are practiced & aims are openly stated.
We celebrate the religious freedom that our society offers. Yet the church must still balance its civic duty with its call to teach and follow the path of Christ. Churches often disagree about which issues call us to choose to follow God or human authority. Yet the disciples never use violence or subterfuge to teach but do so openly and accept the consequences.
Blessings, Will
