Jesus, Not Jesus & Charlie Kirk
Written by: Bryan Willkom
JESUS:
Erika Kirk forgiving her husband’s killer and saying, “hate is not the answer”
NOT JESUS:
The Leader of our nation saying, “I hate my opponents and I don’t want what’s best for them” (at a memorial service)
JESUS:
Cheering an act of forgiveness
NOT JESUS:
Cheering words of hate
JESUS:
Grieving the loss of a beloved human being
NOT JESUS:
Using someone’s death to stoke political tension and division
JESUS:
Standing together in prayer and singing
NOT JESUS:
Standing on a stage blaming and mocking others
