At the last Republican debate Anderson Cooper asked Gov. Hukabee "What would Jesus Do" talking about the death penalty. The Governor responded "Jesus was much too smart to get into politics". What a disappointing response.
Jesus died at the hands of the Jewish and Roman authorities by the death penalty and suffered crucifixion! He did this even though he was an innocent man as a substitution for the punishment that each of us deserves for our sinfulness. The governor missed an opportunity to share this news with the listening audience!
We are getting ready to celebrate Christmas. When the Lord of Lords, The King of Kings, The Lion of Judah, The Creator of Heaven and Earth came into the world as a baby! A beautiful and miraculous story that man could not have invented. Let us not forget during this time of year the fate of this child in the manger. He was destined to be beaten, scourged, stripped naked and nailed to a cross to redeem you and I. All we need do is put our faith in him for our salvation and to guide our daily walk.
What would Jesus do? He's already done it! As he said on the cross. "It is finished".
