We discuss the sobering reality of political violence coming from both the left and the right, and explore how our righteous anger can lead us to justify force. We examine Jesus's teaching in Gethsemane and the Sermon on the Mount, which call us to love our enemies and refuse the logic of violence, even when our cause is just and the threat is real. We talk about the church's third way: truth-telling, neighbor-loving, and the refusal to become what we oppose—a harder path that reflects the shape of God's power through the cross, not the sword. #christianpeace #love #nonviolence #peace #thethirdway #jesus #christiancommunity #politicalviolence #religiousviolence
