Politics. The very mention of the word evokes all kinds of feelings. Right now, in America, political tension pulls at the fabric of our communities and our shared identity. It’s a difficult season. If you listen closely, underneath all of the rhetoric and the promises, you’ll hear savior language: “I’m the only one who can fix it,” or “Only our side is righteous.” And it goes further…there’s also quite a bit of demonizing and dehumanizing language being thrown around about “the other side.” Not only are people using savior language about their own political camp…they’re saying that everyone who disagrees is pure evil. All of this is a problem that Christians should wrestle with…and here’s why: No Christian should be looking for a savior in November or January, because we already have a savior…and his name is Jesus of Nazereth.
