In the current era, we are witnessing a profound polarization of political and religious beliefs, which has led to a growing divide between individuals and communities. While our society claims to embrace tolerance, it is becoming increasingly challenging to bridge the gaps and recognize our shared humanity. The way we interact with each other is directly influenced by our perceptions and cultural norms, and there are alarming signs that we are failing to see each other accurately.

In his book "Reclaimed," author and cultural critic Andy Steiger delves into the underlying trend of dehumanization that permeates our contemporary world. People from diverse political backgrounds and walks of life share a common yearning for improved understanding, justice, and human dignity. However, they are uncertain about the path to achieve these goals. Steiger argues that Jesus serves as the foundation for rediscovering our common ground and restoring our shared humanity.

In Jesus, we find that humans are unique, valuable, and endowed with rights and responsibilities. Moreover, Jesus offers the possibility of redemption and restoration for our dehumanizing tendencies, which are often our darkest inclinations toward inhumanity. Through his teachings and example, Jesus enables us to embrace our full humanity and cultivate relationships and societies that reflect the values of compassion, empathy, and respect.

The polarization of political and religious beliefs poses significant challenges to our society. However, by embracing the teachings of Jesus and seeking to understand and respect one another, we can work towards creating a more inclusive and harmonious world. It is through this collective effort that we can overcome the barriers that divide us and build a future that is characterized by compassion, justice, and human dignity for all.
