God's Middle Finger

Here's something I found on Emergent Village:

Our fractured human tendency revokes the imagination necessary for being followers of a crucified revolutionary. Too often we embrace the power to turn the cross upside down as we tell our human enemies "up yours" - with our swords clenched. We give these 'evil' people the middle finger of retributive judgement to make sure that they know not to mess with us "good people". Yet a perplexing reality remains : Jesus commands us to love our human enemies (Mat 5.44). In so doing, humans of every stripe no longer can be categorized as true enemies because they become subjects of love.
Kurt Willems

Now that's an interesting thought.
Let's rediscover what it is to follow our Crucified (and Risen) revolutionary!
