More than ever, we need to stand up for what we believe
because this isn’t just about our generation, it’s about the legacy we leave
for generations to come. We should stand up for those who have been hurt and
will be hurt. Ultimately, I believe the depth of our love for others isn’t
measured by which political party we’re each associated with. Instead, I think
we should all act with such love that others don’t even question whether our beliefs
are wrong or right. Our care and concern for people in ALL situations must be
seen before our reactions to politics. We should prioritize people over our problems with people.
In his book “Jesus Prom”, John Weece says
“Our love should empty itself because Love emptied Himself on the cross.”
“Our love should empty itself because Love emptied Himself on the cross.”
In Acts 5, Israel’s senate ridiculed the disciples for acting
and speaking as Jesus did. So early Christians felt a similar pain to us. Peter
closes out that passage by reminding us that although we’re called to respect
our authority and our government officials, we’re firstly called to follow the
convictions God places on our hearts.
