Love’s Upside-Down Victory

Love seems like a strategy doomed to fail in a world ruled by cruelty, violence, and injustice—yet it’s precisely this strategy that continues to transform our world.
We often build our spiritual lives “upside down,” attempting to start by serving others or earning God’s love, but true transformation begins when we allow Jesus to serve us (just as He served His disciples by preparing breakfast after His resurrection), then respond to His question “Do you love Me?”, and only then shepherd His sheep.
