Well, you know, he'll fix unfairness later.
It's what a person in power says to prevent the unprivileged from staging a revolt. Jesus will give you a reward and punish the people in power in the next life. Jesus fixes all your problems so don't rock the boat, be obedient, and don't press for change.Mormorrisey wrote: ↑Sat Apr 03, 2021 1:48 pmActually unsure how to feel about this talk. On the one hand, he recognises that life is unfair for people and covid has been really bad for the marginalised. On the other hand, just saying Jesus will help you out is not quite a solution.

I am also not sure about this talk. It is good to say that Christ will fix all unfairness. If you can see this as part of the atonement, it is good. But just saying it isn’t enough. We humans need to be actively involved in undoing the damage of unfairness and not leave it to Jesus. Make sure this isn’t just “thoughts and prayers” and not doing a thing yourself to fix things.Mormorrisey wrote: ↑Sat Apr 03, 2021 1:48 pmActually unsure how to feel about this talk.

Yes.
