Another Blown Opportunity, Mr. President...It's Easter
So, let me get this straight…President Obama takes the time in his “Easter Message” to link with Jews, Muslims, Hindu’s and others…speaking to our common humanity. Let me presume enough to tell the President something. If you are making a statement on or about one of our great high holy days, leave the other religions out of it. If you want to use an announcement on one of their holy days as an opportunity to speak about the brotherhood of mankind then fine but when making proclamations about one of our days, stick to the facts and the awesome things of what our faith is all about. Or perhaps you don’t know much about our faith, Mr. President if you do have faith it might have been great to give a testimony about what the Easter Resurrection event has meant in your life…has it meant anything in your life? Are you a real Christian? Is there any evidence from what you say or do that the Resurrection has meant anything to you? Actually, I might ask these same questions of any of us who claim Christ. But I ask these questions of the President, because he has made a big deal politically to align himself and self-identify as a Christ –follower and a church member. But is this really true of this sith-lord like chameleon who blows right past opportunities to share his faith and glorify God to make himself look good as he increases the role of government and seeks to make the government into a big golden calf, idol. Christians need to pray, turn from wicked ways, and humble themselves and seek God. We need to be God’s resurrection, Easter witnesses who proclaim loudly…He is Risen, He is Risen Indeed! When we acknowledge Him before the media and before the whole human race…when we self identify…I am a Christ follower (and begin to live like it) then the world will be forced to take a fresh look at the Christ and, hopefully, choose life. God tells us that He places before us today a blessing and a curse…acknowledge Him boldly and freely. It is Christ’s resurrection that separates our Christian religion from every other religion. We are different and we make no excuses for that. We have a resurrected Lord and none of the other faiths have that. The President might have done that and been that good witness, but he didn’t. Will you do that today? Be a God acknowledger today…don’t be a God denier. To be a God denier is to operate in the spirit of the anti-christ. Hear the words of Scripture…if you deny me before men, I will deny you…those are God’s words. The hope of the world is not to be found in a common humanity as the President so frequently says; it is to be found in the Resurrected Christ…He is the Hope of the world. Preach Christ Crucified and Resurrected today. Be Easter, Resurrection witnesses. Blessings from the Resurrection Zone.
