November 10, 2024 | Inés Velásquez-McBryde | Psalm 31, Matthew 5

The gift of lament in Psalm 31 is a reminder that we can openly call out and say that things aren’t as they should be. It reorients us towards the sermon on the mount where Jesus speaks to a community marginalized by both empire and temple systems. Jesus centers the margins and says that those who are the least (and most affected by the recent election results) will be the greatest in the kingdom.
