All Lives Matter
Jesus Christ died for everyone and all of the mankind’s sins are forgiven for those who repent and accept him as Lord, we only have to ask him. So then as Christians, when we focus on the faults of each other whether they be committed by black, white, yellow, red, green, or blue people we build resentment and pride within our hearts. We then error into judgment against those people and that keeps us from doing what we need to do according to Jesus Christ to be saved, we are not loving our neighbor as ourselves.
Folks it is a design of the enemy to snare people into this mess, don’t give the devil a foothold in your heart. If I allow myself to get caught up and choose a side no matter who is right and even if I don’t participate, I have formed an opinion against someone. Therefore, my new opinion will affect my life negatively, the next time I’m pulled over or even interacting with people. We are told to take into captivity ALL things that exult themselves against the knowledge of God and God is love.
“Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.”
– Proverbs 31:9 KJV
There is a difference between speaking up righteously and jumping on the bandwagon. This current issue is not in the name of charity, but hate under the guise of equality. Ever heard the phrase ‘you can catch more flies with honey than vinegar’? The message movements like these becomes void when violence is called for. To associate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr isn’t a correct comparison for he said “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” Where is the love for one another here? An eye-for-eye mentality leaves the whole world blind and Jesus said “But if thine eye be evil; thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!”
– Matthew 6:23 KJV
So let he without sin cast the first stone, don’t get caught up, because no one is perfect in God’s eyes, only Jesus Christ his son and we are called to be sons of God! “Blessed are those who are poor in spirit for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.” – Matthew 5:23 KJV
Can you picture Jesus leading a protest or calling for violence against anyone? When the people who are employed to protect and serve the public are threatened and start getting shot due to the mistakes of others thousands of miles away, they start living in fear and that puts them on edge. This means that it is more likely that they will react out of fear, because they have families too and just like you, want to go home to see them at the end of the shift. So put yourself in their position and love your neighbor as yourself, fulfill the law of Christ and be pure of heart for you shall see God!
So while the news media glamorizes this nonsense, no matter whose actions are justified by anyone, it only perpetuates it, brethren we need to look at the bigger picture here. A kingdom divided cannot stand and a house divided will fall… and that’s the point. So pray for our nation, pray for the effected families involved, turn the other cheek, cast your cares upon the Lord for He cares about you and vengeance is His. Remember the apostle Paul said that the weapons of our warfare are not carnal and told us not to concern ourselves with the affairs of this world.
The recent shootings of citizens and police here in America are an injustice, but don’t let that overshadow the injustice that our Lord and savior Jesus Christ went through for you. So if you have been affected by the recent events, forgive all those involved for they know not what they do, repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand inside you! Let the world’s burdens be lifted off and claim your peace that surpasses understanding. God bless.
