CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY DECEMBER 18, 2020
SO MUCH OF POLITICS IS THE OPPOSITE OF THE KINGDOM NOT OF THIS WORLD, ISN’T IT? IT IS ABOUT GRABBING FOR SUPPOSED POWER, WHILE JESUS EMPTIED HIMSELF OF HIS POWER AND BECAME A BABY, LATER TAKING ON THE FORM OF A HUMBLE SERVANT AND GIVING HIS LIFE ON A CROSS TO PAY FOR OUR SINS.
WHAT A CONTRAST! IT IS A REBUKE TO EVERY KING AND KINGDOM OF THIS WORLD THAT STRIVES FOR POWER AND AUTHORITY OVER OTHERS. IT IS A REBUKE TO OUR POLITICIANS.
JESUS HAS THAT POWER, BUT HE DIDN’T ASPIRE TO IT. HE WAS GIVEN POWER BY HIS FATHER. AFTER ALL, HE DID CREATE ALL THINGS, BUT HE CAME TO A WORLD HE CREATED AND THE WORLD DID NOT KNOW HIM. CAN YOU IMAGINE HAVING POWER AND NOT USING IT? AH, BUT HE WILL USE IT WHEN HE RETURNS TO SET THINGS RIGHT AS THEY WERE ORIGINALLY MEANT TO BE.
IN MY ONE YEAR BIBLE READING I AM IN THE MIDDLE OF REVELATION. IT IS A THRILLING PROMISE OF THINGS YET TO COME. AND HE WILL COME. COMFORT YOURSELF WITH THAT CERTAIN TRUTH THIS CHRISTMAS WHILE POLITICIANS KEEP TRYING TO LORD IT OVER US. THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS IS COMING. AND HIS ARRIVAL IS ONE DAY CLOSER THAN YESTERDAY. I’M CAL THOMAS.
