King Calls for Equality Before God

"The Feast of Christ the King holds Jesus up as a forgiving, nonviolent leader. As king, Jesus stand for forgiveness, not armed might or a free market economy. The world needs alternatives to war. In the 20th century nations fought more wars than in any other century. Water may motivate wars in the 21st century as oil has in the past century. Everyone needs water, so its increasing scarcity challenges the earth community to learn to negotiate." (Sundy by Sunday of Good Ground Press). Jesus, our King, says his mission is to proclaim a year of favor from God (Luke 4:21). This means "forgiving debts, righting relationships and restoring the community to equality before God." Jubliee USA has lobbied Congress to introduce a bill calling on the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank to forgive the illegitimate debts the worlds' poorest nations owe the wealthies nations. (See www.jublieeusa.org for more information.) This will do more to reduce poverty than charitable aid to countries. This is justice.
