Many of the most important decisions in our lives involve risk.
They involve taking the risk that new relationships, a marriage, a religious commitment, a job, or a course of study, will work out. There is no life without change, and no change without risk. Any time we risk out our necks in support of the poor or the deprived, we risk the scorn of others.
If we really live our convictions, we will risk being misunderstood by others. Jesus Christ risked a lot. He risked the anger of political leaders and of religious leaders. He risked the misunderstanding of friends, family and followers.
