Just a short rant.....
Why do people insist on making Jesus a Republican? Seriously....everytime I hear a Christian talk politics, I get the feeling that they are implying that Jesus is a Republican. The same can be said of Democrats. They too align Jesus as a Democrat.
That just kills me. What makes us think that Jesus would align himself with either of the parties? What makes us so arrogant that we would think for a second that we know what party Jesus would vote for?
If memory serves me right.....Jesus had a chance to join the different sects of Judaism. But He didn't. He didn't come to conform the different sects. He came to bring grace and love to all.
If He wouldn't choose sides back then (besides His own side) then why do we imply that He chooses our side now. Republicans say because of our views on abortion and same sex marriage. Democrats say because they care about the poor, something they say the Republicans obviously don't.
I guess we can ponder this question: WWJVF - Who Would Jesus Vote For
Too bad we get wrapped up in this.....maybe there are other things that we can get wrapped up in.....like the grace of God, the moving of the Spirit, the adoration of the Son, even maybe get wrapped up in reaching out to those that haven't experience the saving grace of God.
Maybe......
