Who will save us?

Monday, November 10th

The election is finally over!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Regardless of what side you are for, you have to be relieved that this election season has finally ended. There are some people who say that our country is in a lot of trouble. The same people are counting on president elect Barack Obama to save us. There are others who hoped that John McCain would save us. I think we all need to take a moment and realize neither man can save the country. Will President Obama solve all of our problems? Assuredly, he will not. Would John Mccain solve all of our problems? Assuredly, he would not. The problem is not presidential. The problem is spiritual. Some suggest that one or the other would do a better job leading America according to Biblical principles. I do not see a lot from either that would give me great comfort that either man is a devoted follower of Jesus Christ. One claims to be a Christian, the other a Christian, but not the born again type (that is the only type of Christian).

All of this reminds me of the following:

speaking of Jesus in Acts 4

v 12: "And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved."

I know that in context this is speaking of our eternal salvation, but lets apply it to our lives in the here and now.

No politician can save us, only the name of the Living God, whose name is Jesus, can save us.
Christians, lets all work to be concerned with the proclamation about Jesus and who he is, than with pointing out all that is wrong with the current leaders.
