Well as you know election day is getting closer and like you I hear more and more about President Obama and Mitt Romney, and like you I am already tried of it and we still have a way to go. But a interesting thought I had when the owner of Chick-fil-a defended his stand on marriage and everyone on Facebook had the signs about supporting them, why is it so easy for us to go buy a chicken sandwich but not share the love of Christ.
We like to post things on social media about our political views but have people all around us who need to hear the good news but can't talk to them about it. It has become so easy to click and share a thought, we many times do it without even thinking about all the people who may not share your thought on the issue.
You may ask what the big deal with that, well I will tell you, Christians have become known not for our love and compassion but for being "Conservative" or even dare I say "Republican." Well this may burst some of your bubbles but Jesus never said join the Republican or Democratic party, but he did say in Matthew 25: 35-40
"I was hungry and you fed me, I was thirsty and you gave me a drink, I was homeless and you gave me a room, I was shivering and you gave me clothes, I was sick and you stopped to visit, I was in prison and you came to me."Then those 'sheep' are going to say, 'Master, what are you talking about? When did we ever see you hungry and feed you, thirsty and give you a drink? And when did we ever see you sick or in prison and come to you?' Then the King will say, 'I'm telling the solemn truth: Whenever you did one of these things to someone overlooked or ignored, that was me—you did it to me."
And when I read this I don't take it as our governments responsibility to feed, clothe, and take care of others it is the responsibility of those who love Jesus. So before you go and bad mouth the President or the candidate who is running against him remember that so called "Christians" are the majority of this nation and we put our own self in this position. And remember that what you post on social media creates a image that people see about you and all the other "Christians" out there so represent the real Jesus.
