I really don’t like hearing non-Christians talk about Easter as if it’s some abstract allegory. It’d be better not to talk about it at all.
Good Friday isn’t about sacrifice. It’s about Jesus’s sacrifice. God-made-flesh shed his blood on the cross for our sins, so that by grace through faith we could be forgiven and reconciled to God.
Acts 4:12: “And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”
Sometimes, I wonder why I do this work.
I wonder why I work so hard to elect Republican majorities into office
& — when we are in power — our very elected officials don’t wield or harness that power.
I wonder why I lose sleep, miss family vacations, & put my personal life on hold, so wealthy Senators can go on paid vacations
after not achieving the very promises they campaigned on.
Sometimes, I wonder if they truly care about us & if they actually want to represent the will of the very people that elected them into positions of authority.
I will tell you this: if the Senate ultimately does not pass the SAVE America Act, I will use all of the energy, hustle, & organizing efforts we used to elect these Senators into office
as tools to peacefully & respectfully defeat them in their upcoming elections.
