There has been a lot of political talk lately and with good reason. Bail-outs, corruption, increasing government control, intrusion into our lives and the erosion of our personal liberties. Its enough to make the mind reel in disgust. I shutter to even think what this country will be like for my grand children. Government is not the answer; we don't need charismatic leaders, we need God. People need the moral direction that only God provides. In this time of change we need to look to Jesus and not to our own devices. Consider the following passage from the book of John.
John 19:13-22
13 When Pilate therefore heard these words, he brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called "The Pavement," but in Hebrew, "Gabbatha."
14 Now it was the Preparation Day of the Passover, at about the sixth hour. He said to the Jews, "Behold, your King!"
15 They cried out, "Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him!" Pilate said to them, "Shall I crucify your King?" The chief priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar!"
16 So then he delivered him to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus and led him away.
17 He went out, bearing his cross, to the place called "The Place of a Skull," which is called in Hebrew, "Golgotha,"
18 where they crucified him, and with him two others, on either side one, and Jesus in the middle.
19 Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. There was written, "JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS."
20 Therefore many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek.
21 The chief priests of the Jews therefore said to Pilate, "Don't write, 'The King of the Jews,' but, 'he said, I am King of the Jews.'"
22 Pilate answered, "What I have written, I have written." WEB
The Jews made THE WRONG CHOICE; THEY CHOSE CAESAR! Lets not make the same sort of mistake. Governments rise and fall because of sin and the sooner America realizes this the better. When we choose God's way, we strengthen our country, when Caesar is the choice...... so, choose wisely!!
