The Self-Emptied Person
If you claim nothing as your own, including your own life, you can expose the illusion of control and the false basis of war and violence by refusing any compromise with evil. Thus the self-emptied person is the true revolutionary in the world. How might we stand aside from all our demands and desires in this age of consumerism and militarism and seek peace within – peace for our immediate community and peace for the world?
Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it.
- Matthew 10: 39
Reflection Question: Where might Jesus be inviting you into a deeper experience of self-emptying today?
