Advent "The Weary World Rejoices" the promise of justice

Jesus is coming to bring justice to the world, but not a justice we would immediately recognize as such. God chooses the margins of society, where God will be born in dire circumstances, to an unwed mother in unsanitary conditions without a proper roof over her head. To an embarrassed new dad, forced

to scoop up his family and flee the country from a powerful and vengeful king. This is the world that God chose to enter at Christmas. Our world. So, God could be the difference we didn’t know it needed, flipping our understanding of justice upside- down (or maybe right-side up). This week, we are 

exploring what it means to be surprised by the ways God works in the world, what justice means through Jesus’ eyes, and how we might join this gentle 

revolution.
