It’s a fragile Jesus who needs weapons, an army, and political control to protect and enforce his will.
It’s a powerful Jesus who lived the way of self-sacrificial love, served others, who was executed by religion colluding with corrupt political power and still defeated death!
Jesus carried a cross not a gun.
For Christ, we can die but we cannot kill.
We cannot love our enemies as Christ commands, and simultaneously prepare to kill them.
We cannot hold the cross in one hand and a gun in the other.
