Woke-ness Has One Thing Right

Provocative title for folks who follow me, probably.

But true.

Woke-ness has something going for it: 

A sense of morality and justice, and the need to punish wrong-doing.

This is an aspect of Christian theology that the world has rejected for decades, but has now rediscovered.

Think about it.

Woke culture is a secular version of God's judgment applied to everyone.

Have you violated the holy standard of right and wrong?

Then you deserve exile, ostracism, and removal from the camp of the community.

Yes, of course, their standard of what is right and wrong is wildly off base.

But they are getting the judgment and punishment piece absolutely correct.

So it cries out for resolution:

INSTEAD OF CANCELING OR CRUCIFYING PEOPLE, WHAT SHOULD WE DO??

The only satisfying answer is the atonement for sin God Himself offered at the cross of Jesus.  THIS satisfies in a way no riot, reparations, or legislation can ever do.

Jesus’ suffering and crucifixion was the ultimate miscarriage of justice, because of who He was/is: the eternal Word/Creator/God!  While we protest injustices in our past, we need to see this:

The woke world is ignoring the satisfaction of those injustices God offered us in Christ.
