The Rev. Jay Lawlor on Good Jobs, Goal 1 of America's Goals for 2030
The Rev. Jay Lawlor begins his series on America's Goals by looking at Goal 1 and the connection between access to good jobs and Christian economic justice.
The Rev. Lawlor then offers some background on "Jesus and the Gospel of Economic Justice." Here the Rev. Lawlor looks at a sampling of the New Testament which supports the biblical theme of economic justice toward Goal 1 of America's Goals. He writes:
"The pattern of Christian life presented in the gospels has particular relevance today as millions struggle as working poor, a shrinking middle class, and the increasing concentration of income and wealth in the top one percent. In her Magnificat (The Song of Mary), Mary rejoices in God who scatters the proud, brings down the mighty, and lifts up the poor and lowly (Luke 1:51-53). Later Jesus proclaims that the poor will have good news brought to them (Matthew 11:5)."
