Cancel Culture - Episode 113

In the midst of "cancel culture" how do we create a healthy culture. Jesus calls his disciples the salt of the earth and the light of the world. He became one of us in a dark time in Jewish history. He was born into Roman-occupied Judea, a land that longed for peace and freedom. He grew up among people who longed for a leader to strike a blow against Rome and free the nation of Israel.
Jesus didn't defy the culture. He defined his own culture, his own kingdom. The culture mocked him, tried to discredit him, stone him, call him a fraud, and ultimately they turned him over to the rulers they'd hated since birth and pressed for his murder.
They canceled him.
Through his resurrection, he canceled death and invited us to a new life, a new culture.
Our challenge, in these trying times, is to create a culture of salt and light in the midst of bitterness and darkness.
