Christians following Jesus' example
I just read a really lovely excerpt from the Christian Alliance for Progress The Jacksonville Declaration.
For the entire Declaration, please click on Jacksonville Declaration.
We cannot imagine a Jesus who would say:
"You are strong and powerful; your ideals are noble. Make war to spread those ideals."
"The end is near - So it doesn't matter what you do to my Father's creation."
"Heal the sick - Provided they can pay."
"All are welcome at the table - As long as they are the same as we are."
"Follow me - And help me form a government to force others to follow."
Do you believe such statements truly reflect Christian or American values? Do these views follow what Jesus taught? Do you think it is genuinely American to steer our country toward a Christian theocracy? Is it Christian to foster intolerance? Is this the path to which Jesus leads us?
We say "No". Instead, we say "Yes" to values Jesus plainly and passionately practiced. Listen to his words:
"I give you a new commandment: love one another. As I have loved you, so you also should love one another. This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."
-- John 13:34-35
