Living Lives of Compassion and Conviction. Jesus on Justice will shake up your worldview and inspire you to move beyond simply perceiving injustice to fighting it. The image of Christ as a radical advocate for justice-bucking the religious and cultural norms of his day-is, for many of us, an uncomfortable one. Accepting that he calls us to fight injustice in our world, as he did, can be even more uncomfortable. Uncomfortable, but so crucially important. Posterski challenges us to look deeply into what God's word says about justice, as we consider our personal and collective responsibilities. He contends that the Bible is not passive on these matters, rather, it offers us a clear road map to pursue human rights and measures of equity for all people. We are asked to consider the brokenness of our present world- famine, human trafficking, children's rights, racism, etc.-in light of what Jesus said and did about each of these issues. Jesus lived right. Jesus made life right for others. Jesus wants us to do the same.
