  Chris Jones: I've got your bonus dab of the sauce, two minutes or less.
• 0:03
  Chris Jones: Let's see if I can do this.
• 0:04
  Chris Jones: Now, I don't know if you're aware, but we had Peter Rollins on the last episode.
• 0:08
  Chris Jones: If you haven't heard it, you should absolutely go listen to it.
• 0:11
  Chris Jones: Beautiful conversation.
• 0:13
  Chris Jones: Now, in this conversation, it brought up a different lens of how we see Jesus, that we typically see Jesus on the cross crucified and suffering so we can be forgiven for sins.
• 0:25
  Chris Jones: Now, if you've heard me talk about sins before, there's a reason why I believe Jesus used a terminology thorns when he's talking to his inner twelve.
• 0:33
  Chris Jones: There's a huge difference.
• 0:35
  Chris Jones: More to come on that in the future.
• 0:36
  Chris Jones: Now, Pete brought up that we are in communion with one another when we show our wounds and we accept each other for our wounds.
• 0:46
  Chris Jones: And it's in those moments of our community that no matter what our differences are or how extreme they are, that when you allow one another to expose your wounds and accept each other for them, we are showing and demonstrating love.
• 1:00
  Chris Jones: But in a religion where we create a mountain to God through earning your way, we have the tendency to hide our wounds because in a merit-based religion, we judge one another for them, which leaves us feeling ashamed.
• 1:13
  Chris Jones: Versus coming together and we share our wounds with one another.
• 1:17
  Chris Jones: And in that we find, as Peter calls it, liturgy, encouragement and comfort.
• 1:22
  Chris Jones: See, that goes back to what I often say, that the church or our community isn't the destination.
• 1:28
  Chris Jones: It's the place to be encouraged to keep going, that there is life worth having in the journey through the process.
• 1:36
  Chris Jones: In other words, it's those with divine scars helping those with wounds.
• 1:42
  Chris Jones: Isn't that what the resurrected Jesus represents?
• 1:46
  Chris Jones: Keep in mind, Jesus had scars and they spoke in a very divine way.
• 1:50
  Chris Jones: That's literally what communion is about.
• 1:53
  Chris Jones: It's us in communion with Jesus and his brokenness on the cross.
• 1:58
  Chris Jones: Sins aren't infractions, they're self-inflicted wounds.
• 2:01
  Chris Jones: And it's in that that we suffer.
• 2:03
  Chris Jones: So when we come to him with our brokenness, it isn't shame he offers, it's mercy.
• 2:10
  Chris Jones: And in that we find hope and healing.
• 2:13
  Chris Jones: Life where there is no life.
• 2:15
  Chris Jones: God's love.
• 2:16
