Matthew 22:34-40 NIV
And it wasn’t just Jesus’ example but look at the Bible and we will see those who were involved in every level of political activity.
Abraham. God told Abraham that he would be the father of a great nation of people. This is politics at its beginning.
Joseph. Joseph was raised by God to become second in command of the most powerful nation of his time; he was the Vice President of Egypt!
Moses. Moses was the "Lawgiver." Most of the laws of Moses are still on the legal books of our day.
Daniel. Daniel by his influence changed a King and his kingdom.
Isaiah, Jeremiah, and the Prophets, spoke against the Politics of their day and called their nation back to God.
David...David was King of Israel. The Leader of his nation.
Simply put -- you can’t separate Politics from the Word of God or the people of God and no earthly government will ever be pleasing to God unless Christians are part of it.
Thank you for joining us today! Have a blessed week!
The Lord bless you
and keep you;
the Lord make his face shine on you
and be gracious to you;
the Lord turn his face toward you
and give you peace.
Numbers 6:24-26
