People like Jesus and Paul were not executed for saying, “Love one another.” They were killed because their understanding of love meant more than being compassionate toward individuals, although it did include that. It also meant standing against the domination systems that ruled their world, and collaborating with the Spirit in the creation of a new way of life that stood in contrast to the normalcy of the wisdom of this world. Love and justice go together. Love is the heart of justice, and justice is the social form of love. Excerpt from “The First Paul” by Marcus J. Borg, John Dominic Crossan.
