Jim Wallis on Kingdom as Justice - Progressive (Matthew 6:33) - Illustration on justice

"Seek first the kingdom—and the kingdom is justice, peace, and joy. This is not privatized piety but public commitment. God's righteousness is social righteousness. When we seek justice first, God provides; when we seek security first, we lose both justice and security." — Jim Wallis. Progressive: kingdom as justice.
