Christian values are governed by God, not a political party. If this is so, how can Christians display love and unity during a political election? As Christians we attempt to choose the best candidates possible to lead the various levels of our government. It is no secret that we live in polarizing and confusing times. Political parties are fighting feverishly for control of the government. Everyone has strong opinions on who should be president. This is reflected in our personal stances on abortion, immigration and global warming as well as many other hot-button issues.
Jesus chose to come to earth and set up His kingdom during a time of brutal Roman domination. He also revealed himself to his people, not when they were a monarchy influencing the whole Middle East, but a time when His own people were beaten down and oppressed. This shows us that we are called to stay true to the Great Commission to make disciples (Matthew 28:19) no matter the political climate around us.
