Our pastor gave a wonderful sermon today, in regards to the political situation we're dealing with in this country. What was especially interesting was that he tied it to the life of Jesus and how the religious leaders thought it 'Expedient' to kill the Son of God to save themselves and maintain their power. We, as Christian, should hold onto our values regardless of whose running for what office and regardless of what others think of us. Remember Peter denied Jesus three times and went out and wept bitterly simply because he fell asleep, when Jesus ask him to pray. He used his sword to cut off the ear of the high priest servants ear because he -Perter- had different ideas of how Jesus should end His life. Peter, at the time, simply didn't understand and took the 'Expedient' way out. The beauty of Peter's situation is that he was later on brought back into the fold and became a crusader fo Christ and Jesus forgives us also and allows us the opportunity to humbly bow before Him, confess our sins, and ask Him to come into our hearts and lives. In the last days, it may not be easy to hold onto our faith and that's all the more reason we need to be in prayer often asking Jesus to strengthen us so that we may stand for Him and all that is right; not what is 'Expedient'.
