THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD | 2004-12-25

Today, we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, the Light of the World. God sent His only Son to come and save us from ourselves and our enemies. What a contrast to what passes for leadership today.

It seems blasphemous to compare Bush and his cronies to Christ. Yet how many so-called Christians seemed to believe that only Bush could save us?

The Bible warns us to "put no confidence in princes," and how much less in the jumped-up white trash that inhabits the top spot today.

Jesus told the "respectables" of his day that they had their reward. He came to bring not peace, but a sword. He didn't come to send us into battles halfway around the world while he hid safely in his oval office. He didn't come to DEMAND the end of our race and heritage, but to show us the way to life. He told us to take up our cross and follow Him.

That is the job only we can do.

Merry Christmas.
