What are Jesus Oriented Goals?

As Matt continues to visit Ukraine, he shares a Good Friday message that reviews some of the destruction in the city of Irpin, and wrestles with the question, "What is a Jesus Oriented Goal?"

Matt argues that a Jesus oriented goal is one that works towards the shalom/peace/reconciliation/wholeness/safety/healing that is experienced in God's reign. To use a religious term--Shalom. On Good Friday, we celebrate that Jesus' death on the cross is the ultimate exclamation point on God's work to "reconcile the world to God in Christ," (2 Corinthians 5:19). To use a more accessible term to the masses--healing.
Likewise, the prophet Isaiah writes, "But [Christ] was pierced for our transgressions,
 he was crushed for our iniquities;
 the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
 and by his wounds we are healed (MADE SHALOM)," (Isaiah 53:5).
