United Methodist Church of Westford

Jesus, like most other Jews in Palestine, wanted Israel to be liberated from Roman imperialism. He set about trying to make change, not through overthrow or a change in government, but by changing the hearts and minds of people: ““Love your enemies, to do good to those who hate you, and to pray for those who treat you badly.” (Luke 6:25). Jesus also confronted the powers through suffering, even suffering unto death. Jesus believed that the only way to destroy suffering is to enter into it and suffer with those who are suffering. Only one’s willingness to suffer can conquer suffering in this world: “Compassion destroys suffering by suffering with and on behalf of those who suffer. A sympathy with the poor that is unwilling to share their suffering would be a useless emotion. One cannot share the blessings of the poor unless one is willing to suffer.” (Jesus Before Christianity) What are we willing to die for?  Die for people who are in need.
