Breaking Down Hierarchy
Think about Jesus. He was totally free before the authorities of his time. He told people not to be guided by the behaviour of the Scribes and Pharisees. Jesus came among us as an equal, a brother. He broke down the pyramidal structures of relationship between God and people, as well as those among people and offered a new model: the circle where God lives in full solidarity with the people and the people with one another.
“I know, my God, that you test the heart and are pleased with integrity. All these things I have given willingly and with honest intent.”
- 1 Chronicles 29: 17
Reflection Question: How might I live in a way that reflects the “circle” Jesus modeled—relating to God and others with humility, equality, and solidarity rather than hierarchy or power?
