In the midst of such public scandal, anger, and division, I am compelled to ask what ought to be different about a Christian’s response. Though not always necessarily unique among political or social responses, the world-shattering claims of the gospel of Jesus Christ should make a difference in how a Christian reacts. Christians have one candidate - Jesus Christ - who already reigns in the one government that matters most, and He would not have won any election. The whole conversation has become so divorced from what Christ came to do, I would love to see more Christians even half as passionate about the kingdom of God as they are about the politics of one nation. Rather than coming as a conquering hero, Jesus wept over his beloved Jerusalem, only later to die at the hands of its rulers.
