Lord, LordโBut You Starved the Children
They say weโre a Christian nation. But children are going to bed hungry. Parents are working full-time and still canโt feed their kids. The sick and elderly are rationing medicine while billionaires get tax breaks.
If this is what we call โChristian,โ then weโve lost the plot.
I am a Christian. And I know this: You donโt get to be a follower of Christ just because you say you are. You donโt get to claim righteousness because youโre rich, powerful, or politically aligned.
Jesus said: โNot every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heavenโฆ And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.โ (Matthew 7:21โ23, KJV)
He also told the parable of the rich man and Lazarus (Luke 16:19โ31)โwhere the rich man feasted while Lazarus starved at his gate. After death, the rich man begged for mercy. But it was too late.
Thatโs the warning.
And hereโs the command: โBy this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.โ (John 13:35, KJV)
Not by your wealth. Not by your nationalism. Not by your church attendance.
By your love.
If your policies starve the poor, neglect the sick, and punish the vulnerableโdonโt call it Christian.
Jesus flipped tables for less.
