Any heart that has truly sought to understand the sacrifice of love exhibited by Christ, might ask themselves why electing officials is seen as such a high calling, deserving of so much of our energy. The lines of state are the imperfect invention of men, but the heart of man comes from a higher power and to this Christ spoke.
Would Jesus vote? Would he preach to his family and co-workers, put a bumper sticker on his car, a sign in his yard and give his money and time to their campaign? Would he belong to a party? Would he be a one issue voter? Would he choose between the lesser of evils so his vote would "count"?
Government authority is not beyond morality and the more we treat it as though it is, the more we compromise our beliefs for our intentions the faster we fall into decay. While we claim to be a nation of Believers our actions reveal a feeble character and no politician holds the answer and neither do I. Only the sacrifice that is your love can set us free.
