The church lives in the tension between the traditional solutions of the past and the fermenting wine of an ever-new kingdom. It’s a tension between form and love, structure and gospel, organization and vision. The symbols of the past threaten to become idolatrous. The old rituals assert themselves as absolute. The spirit of the Jesus who violated Sabbath rules, avoided purity rituals, ate with sinners, and purged the temple is Lord of our structures as well. His spirit judges and critiques them, keeping them pliable so the kingdom’s new wine continues to ferment.

Jesus’ criticism of economic inequality and religious hypocrisy, as we have examined in recent chapters, may sound harsh to our ears, but it flowed from a heart of love. So it’s now time to ask, what does upside-down love look like?
