Paul Graves<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"dropcapp3\">The streets of America have exploded with political protests in the past four months. Resistance is both persistent and growing against the actions and policies of the Trump administration, against the actions of state legislatures and even school boards. So, when does resistance become an act of grace? When does grace result in an act of resistance?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s explore those possibilities for a moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When was the last time you tried to get into someone\u2019s good graces or to avoid someone\u2019s bad graces? This kind of grace suggests good\/bad favor. That may work for some, but don\u2019t mistake this conditional grace for God\u2019s grace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Christianity and Judaism traditionally say God\u2019s grace is an \u201cundeserved favor.\u201d It isn\u2019t based on merit or worthiness (a topic for a future column).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grace is based on God\u2019s unconditional love. It is here that my personal spiritual wrestling begins. Is God\u2019s grace as unconditional as we glibly declare? Perhaps. And yet \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cUndeserved favor\u201d is easier for me to grasp. \u201cUnconditional favor\u201d is different. God\u2019s passion is focused on justice and equal treatment. That sounds like a form of divine bias. I\u2019ll buy that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I really wonder if God\u2019s unconditional love is an actual spiritual problem. Perhaps we\u2019re hung up over our own inability to accept God\u2019s \u201cundeserved favor\u201d of others \u2013 and ourselves. We\u2019d rather give grace only to the \u201cdeserving,\u201d and can\u2019t fathom why God doesn\u2019t think like we do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stay with me here. \u201dGrace\u201d isn\u2019t another word for \u201cfavor.\u201d Biblical grace is an unconditional gift, not a conditional, quid-pro-quo favor. We see God\u2019s grace can be perceived as unconditional. Unfortunately, Grace offered by humans isn\u2019t quite as generous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet, when we partner with God\u2019s grace somehow, I believe resistance can be an act of grace. Resistance is an act of radical root-deep grace when our root-deep desire is to seek justice for others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But first, we must ask two one-word questions to bring grace into the resistance:&nbsp;<em>Why?<\/em>&nbsp;And&nbsp;<em>how<\/em>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Why<\/em>&nbsp;is resistance necessary in this situation?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>How<\/em>&nbsp;can resistance to the injustice being confronted happen so the persons being resisted are authentically treated with respect and love \u2013 even when respect and love are not returned in kind?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For many of my 83 years, I resisted the idea of resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No more! For example, in the strong, persistent defense of diversity, equity and inclusion and in the spirit of being \u201cwoke,\u201d resistance can be a redemptive action. I\u2019m in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It brings God\u2019s grace \u2013 and ours as well \u2013 to bear on whatever form of violation happens in people\u2019s lives. From God\u2019s viewpoint, grace may certainly be unconditional, even when we can\u2019t begin to replicate it in our own lives. Our inability to be unconditionally gracious mustn\u2019t stop us from trying to be gracious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WHY we resist a public action can be consistent with our passion and compassion about serving people, about rebalancing a severely unbalanced political proposal or action. HOW we resist can reflect even our limited willingness to be gracious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grace calls us to be authentically humble about our own strengths and limits. We\u2019re called to be courageous enough to seek and tell truth to power as we understand that truth, and loving enough to offer respect and dignity to people we don\u2019t really believe \u201cdeserve\u201d that. We\u2019re called to be patient enough to watch grace work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if our methods become hard-edged, or our fears threaten to overtake our sense of decency, Grace can be our guide. Resistance and grace in holy tension. So here\u2019s my last wondering: How do you balance your desire for resistance with the redemptive possibility of grace?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>The Rev.
