In U2's poignant song "Sunday Bloody Sunday," they resonate with the lines, "the real battle just begun, to claim the victory Jesus won."
But what exactly is this victory that Jesus achieved? He demonstrated, through acts like turning the other cheek and embracing humility, the blueprint of how we should tackle our greatest adversities. As U2 highlighted, though Christ achieved a monumental victory, the broader struggle endures. His life and teachings, if earnestly adopted, have the power to guide us to resolution in our battles: be it war, poverty, or political divides. It might appear overly optimistic, but if the world truly internalized and lived by Christ's example, we could find solutions to these persistent challenges.
