From Jesus, Justice & Joash, The Beatitudes and Empire

The empires of this earth go out of their way to oppress those who don’t fit in. They oppress those on the margins.&10;&10;But the kingdom of God that is already but not yet fully here, the kingdom of God that Jesus will fully establish on earth upon his return, the kingdom of God stands opposed to the empires of this earth – by bringing comfort to those who are oppressed." &10;
