Easter is all about liberation. The biblical theology of liberation is a focus on bad people receiving forgiveness and a new start. Unfortunately, left wing liberals have changed the meaning completely.
Jeremiah Wright preaches , division, racial distrust and bitterness along with refusal to forgive. As a result, he is considered to be a scholar among the liberals.
While agonizing on the cross Jesus asked God to forgive the people who betrayed him. They did not deserve it or earn it. They did not even ask for it. Despite all the barriers Jesus asked God to forgive them.
I can understand as a human being why Dr. Wright would hold a grudge but I cannot understand why a minister of the good news would preach such a distorted message. Some say it is because he is a "Prophet". In my view, a Prophet's message is a call to righteousness, peace and forgiveness. Wright's message is the opposite and it has set back racial relationships 100 years.
Wright is wrong! His message is an unbiblical cal to bitterness and vengeance. Thankfully, we Evangelicals are preaching peace and love to all people, even Rev. Wrong.
So, here is the real prophetic message. Love one another as God in Christ has loved you.
