Public Service Message


 Since a bunch of people
missed Sunday school
let's be exquisitely clear 
 
jesus never said
america first
crush enemies 
elect christian leaders
disappear outsiders
worship the flag
 
that's christian nationalism
 
what *did* jesus say?
 
love god
love your enemies
love yourself
practice humility
welcome people not like you
feed people who are hungry
you can't serve god and money
share what you have with others
break down walls between groups
if you want to be great - serve others
 
and when jesus got mad
it was aimed at injustice
hypocrisy and
hardness of heart
never vulnerable people
 
may all who find resonance
and beauty in the story of jesus
practice the second list
and flip some tables
on the first list
 
together is the
way forward
 
Jenny Smith
