What Does Jesus Say About Justice? | Chapel Hill Church Gig Harbor

In this final message of the series, Pastor Ellis walks through what Jesus actually means by justice, rooted in one of the most famous stories he ever told.

1. Why the language of justice has gotten tangled up with cultural and political movements, and why that’s making Christians hesitant to move toward people at all
2. Micah 6:8 and the biblical meaning of justice: what love looks like when it actually moves toward people
3. The Good Samaritan in Luke 10: the lawyer who wanted to draw the circle of love small enough to stand comfortably inside it, and what Jesus says about that
4. The priest and the Levite: how most of us don’t lack compassion, we just have just enough reason to feel okay about not stepping in
5. The Samaritan: what it looks like to move toward someone at real personal and reputational cost, and why Jesus chose that person as the example
6. The deeper truth: Jesus isn’t just calling us to be like the Samaritan. He is the Samaritan. We are the ones on the side of the road.

If you’ve been hesitating to love people because you’re not sure what it will cost you, this one is for you.
