My Jesus is not a republican....
He is not a democrat....
He has no political affiliation except to His Father's Kingdom rule.

He is not a capitalist..
Neither is He a communist...socialist...Fascist.
He stands alone above such divisions.

He is no respecter of persons....
His love is not directed to any one particular socio-ethnic group.
He does not love based on the color of a person's skin.
He loves simply because that is His nature.

He does hold a standard that is not lessened for anyone.
That standard is sin....
Sin separates all from God.....
Romans 6:23 - For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

My Jesus knew the darkness that is in every man and woman's heart. He doesn't measure the evidence of a dark heart by the behavior. In other words....He doesn't look at the crook any different than He does at the person who told a lie. He doesn't hold the cheater in higher regard than He does the heroin addict. 
Romans 3:23 - All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

All?
Yes, all?
That includes me. Such is the reason I follow Jesus today. His Holy Spirit convicted me of what I had done by showing me who I was...a sinner. The longer I pondered my fate, the more I realized that I was doomed to hell. There wasn't any get-out-hell free cards to be distributed to a luck few. There was simply what Jesus did on the cross when He died....and what Jesus accomplished when He was resurrected, and stepped out of that tomb on the first Easter Morning. 

All have sinned?
Who falls under "ALL"?
Everyone.
Everyone is in need of this gift of eternal life with God.
So how do I get this "life" thing?
Go to K-mart?
Surely Walmart has it. They have everything.
I know....
Amazon or Ebay!

Romans 10:9-10 - That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

Romans 10:12-13 - For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

So...how's your heart this morning?
Is it still weighed down by the presence of the sin darkness?
Or has it been changed by my Jesus?
Do you truly know where you will spend eternity when you die...?
Or does that thought scare you to death?
It's a good day to turn to God...
He's there...
He's waiting to hear you.

God on you...
