Trump, Jesus, and Politics
An assassin took a shot at ex (and possibly future) President Trump.
Here are a few of my thoughts.
As a Christian I am opposed to violence. I believe hating people is ungodly. Life is precious and sacred.
My kingdom is not connected to the United States. But I do live here. And my passport says I am a citizen of the US.
I do not think God protected Trump to save America. He let Jesus die to save people way before the United States was around. I don't think God wants Trump dead (or Biden defeated) to save any nation. God does use use rulers and nations for His purposes. Not national purposes. Or our purposes. His. And I am not smart enough to know the best President to make it easier to advance the Kingdom.
I do hope this makes people be a little kinder. A little nicer.
but here's the thing. Americans need Jesus. Always have. Always will.
I am glad trump survived. I am sad others did not. It was an evil sin.
Maybe this will make Donald Trump think about Jesus. Of course he doesn't know me but I wish I could sit down with him and his family and talk about Jesus.
And with the Bidens.
Or maybe more realistically ... with my neighbor.
About Jesus.
The only thing that really matters.
