Both Sides Need Him

Then John went from place to place on both sides of the Jordan River, preaching that people should be baptized to show that they had repented of their sins and turned to God to be forgiven. Luke 3:3 NIV

Okay, now that both sides have wielded the presidential pardon, can we give the rhetoric a rest on social media? No? After this last election season I wasn't sure it was possible, but now I see the effect of the word redouble on political social media posts. Since that won't go away, time to change to a quieter subject, John the Baptizer. Heh, heh, John, had he lived in our age, would have shown us the meaning of torrent when it came to social media posts. He was not quiet about King Herod's indiscretions. John did not hold back on the scribes and Pharisees either. I'm going to guess that people were not being baptized to show repentance because John told them how nice and righteous they had been living. John the Baptizer from the descriptions of him in the scriptures would I think have been melting keyboards with his posting in our time. So, if ya gotta post your politics, post 'em! But let us all remember that there is someone greater than the United States President, and we need to be posting the good news of Jesus the Christ.

In your heated emotions over politics, don't let us forget the Savior!
