In light of the seeming incessant increase of social and political tension, acrimony, and even violence, I find this thought from the folks at The Bible Project on how Jesus wants his followers to respond to injustice and injustices – both real and perceived – to be a worthwhile reminder:

“Jesus invites his followers to expose and challenge injustice in creative and nonviolent ways. The examples Jesus shares are specific to the first century, and we are invited to use wisdom to find creative ways to stand our ground and expose the wrong while not mistreating others. Creative nonviolence exposes injustice while creating opportunities for restoration. It is an effective and generous way to respond to injustice that reveals the love and peace of God’s kingdom.”
