BE JESUS POLITICALLY CORRECT!
Just like today, in Jesus’ day there were times where people with
legal authority mistreated others. One of the offensive practices
was to force someone to carry stuff for a mile. In some societies the
politically correct response would be civil disobedience. Others
would consider the politically correct response would be to
organize protests; others would be rebellion or rioting, etc. The
Jesus politically correct response was “IF ONE OF THE
OCCUPATION TROOPS FORCES YOU TO CARRY HIS
PACK ONE MILE, CARRY IT TWO MILES” [Mt 5:41 GN].
Yes, the Jesus politically correct response is not what feels natural
to most of us. It is almost as unnatural to us as when Jesus teaches
“LOVE YOUR ENEMIES” [Mt 5:44 KJ]. We who follow Jesus
are called to a higher standard than what come natural to us. Are
you Jesus politically correct? To learn more about JESUS
