Good Friday: Who Are We Crucifying

Good Friday,

As we remember Jesus on the cross today, ask ourselves who are we crucifying?

Palestinians in the land of Jesus are being exterminated and facing genocide by an occupying power.

Black people are still shot down by the police with no recourse.

Brown people are abducted, trafficked, and tortured in concentration camps.

Trans people have their rights and health eroded.

Women's autonomy is under attack.

Who are we crucifying?

If we can proudly say Jesus died for our sins, how can we dare to send others to the same lynching tree?

Christianity, we have become the Roman Empire nailing Jesus to the cross. We have betrayed the movement of life, love, and liberation. We spit on the Kingdom of Heaven.

Jesus locked arms with the marginalized and the outcasts. Jesus broke bread with those maligned as sinner and terrorist. If you want to know where Jesus is today, look at who our country is crucifying
