Thank you to Rachel Elizabeth Asproth for her blog post on justice vs. empire in the life of Jesus.

She writes:
Clearly, Jesus knew all about the human instinct for empire. He also knew a simple but profound truth: all empires fall.
So will ours.
...But a God who bleeds is irrelevant, even threatening, to Christians who worship a bulletproof Jesus.
These words of truth help me as I sit with the reality we must all face today, November 10, 2016.
What doesn't help: knowing that many of my fellow evangelicals supported Trump. And I do mean fellows as in males.
