CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY APRIL 19, 2022
NOTHING SAYS EASTER AND THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST LIKE ATTACKING ONE’S POLITICAL OPPONENTS, RIGHT?
THAT IS WHAT FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP DID ON EASTER SUNDAY. FIRST, TRUMP SAID: “HAPPY EASTER TO ALL INCLUDING THE RADICAL LEFT MANIACS WHO ARE DOING EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO DESTROY OUR COUNTRY. MAY THEY NOT SUCCEED, BUT LET THEM, NEVERTHELESS, BE HAPPY, HEALTHY, WEALTHY AND WELL.”
IN A SECOND STATEMENT, TRUMP TRASHED NEW YORK ATTORNEY GENERAL LETITIA JAMES, WHO LAUNCHED A CIVIL INVESTIGATION OF THE TRUMP ORGANIZATION’S FINANCIAL APPRAISER. IT’S NOT WORTH REPEATING WHAT HE SAID, BECAUSE YOU CAN PROBABLY GUESS. IT’S BEEN HIS PATTERN FOR A LONG TIME.
EASTER SUNDAY IS ABOUT REMINDING ESPECIALLY THE UNSAVED OF WHAT JESUS DID FOR US ON THE CROSS AND HOW HE WAS RAISED FROM THE DEAD THREE DAYS LATER, PROVING HE WAS AND IS THE TRUE MESSIAH. THERE IS NO OTHER NAME UNDER HEAVEN BY WHICH WE CAN BE SAVED. TRUMP DISPLAYED TERRIBLE TIMING AND HIS POLITICAL STATEMENTS DISTRACTED FROM THIS CENTRAL MESSAGE OF EASTER, BUT IT GOES WITH A STRING OF THINGS HE HAS SAID ABOUT THE CHRISTIAN FAITH AND THE BIBLE – STATEMENTS YOU MIGHT EXPECT TO HEAR FROM ONE WHO IS A NONBELIEVER. WE CAN DO BETTER. I’M CAL THOMAS.
