Walter Brueggemann on Prophetic Realism - Progressive (John 16:33)

Source: Walter Brueggemann49 words

"Jesus promises trouble—the world resists the kingdom. Those who work for justice face opposition; those who challenge empire face persecution. But take heart: the powers have been overcome! The world's systems do not have the last word. In Christ, resistance is not futile." — Walter Brueggemann. Progressive: prophetic hope.
