WWJVF- Who Would Jesus Vote For?

 

One of the many things we talked about, was "Who would Jesus Vote for".
I know that we didn't talk a  lot about it, but I really got me about how the Political parties are using that to their advantage.
A huge portion of the American population claim to be Christians (another topic that could be interesting to talk about), so they most likely are going to be look for the politician who best fits the person Jesus would vote for.

Of course, today's politicians keep changing their ideas, what they stand for and what they would do if they became President, so its not all that easy. And once they get elected, politicians tend to change their ideas and what they stand for, again.

You have to look at the politicians whole life, not just what they are saying right know, cause chances are they are probably lying about something (shocking, I know).

 

You also have to remember that Jesus, was about as far away as a politician as one could get in his age. Sure a lot of people listened to him preaching, and sure a lot of people seemed to like what he was saying, but you also have to remember that he refused to play power politics, he challenged the government and religious belief systems of his day, and he refused to compromise on his principles that he was preaching, even if other, more powerful people didn't agree.

 

In the end it doesn't really matter "Who Would Jesus Vote For", because Jesus doesn't vote, you vote.
Sure he can tell us what he thinks is important, (he has made his wishes known to us in scripture pretty clear), but he still isn't the one voting, you are. So instead of asking "Who would Jesus Vote for", try looking at people's past, what have they been doing and saying in the past years, judging them not on their outward appearances, but on their true character as a leader, and what they have been doing as a politician for the last couple of years.
I can tell you that might be surprise on what they find.
