As the dust settles after the whirlwind of the US election, this reflective article looks to the character of Jesus Christ to shape and guide us through the turmoils our earthly journey brings.
"So, we find ourselves left with the two dominant responses to social chaos: Nietzsche’s warrior and Jesus Christ, the suffering servant who went to the cross.

We should, however, pause to consider which power is in fact stronger. Which response prevails when we feel anger rising in our hearts? When we’re stung by envy or jealousy, or seized by some passion? When we’re assaulted by temptation and feel the flames of lust beginning to burn? When we’re confronted by the menagerie of selfishness and vice within, what prevails? "
