How can we stand against hate without letting it frame the question? Isn’t that the fundamental question for all of us? How do we oppose the evil, the hurts, the betrayals, the abandonment, the rejections, the disappointments in our lives, the people who let us down, the people who turn against us, the people who tell lies about us? How do we stand against that without becoming a mirror image of the same thing? The human capacity to hate and kill is the sin of the world and it took a Lamb (see John 1:29) to dismantle what the lions of history could only perpetuate.
