Politically Incorrect

Do you know anyone who is politically incorrect? To be politically incorrect means you say things and do things that wouldn’t go over well politically; it means you don’t agree with the popular opinions of the day.  

Did you know Jesus is the most politically incorrect person to ever walk the face of the earth? That’s right!  His words were shocking, so different from what people were used to hearing, that they accused Him of being demon-possessed.  Others accused Him of being a drunkard. The religious establishment of the day branded Him an “outlaw” and people in the streets were even cheering when He was on His way to being crucified. 

If you are a follower of Jesus Christ, you also are politically incorrect. The beliefs Jesus has given you in His Word, beliefs about what is moral, and what is immoral, beliefs about eternal life, and how to get there are very different from what the world around you believes. Like it or not, you are politically incorrect. 

God is also politically incorrect!  So much so that He sent his only Son into the world to save sinners. God is so politically incorrect that when we come to Jesus for salvation, He freely forgives us of all of our sins and through Christ welcomes people into heaven who don’t deserve to be there: murderers, adulterers, liars, thieves, you, and me! 

Beloved, Jesus said, in John 14:6, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” So, whether you are politically correct or politically incorrect, make sure you are correct about this one thing, if you will go to heaven when your body dies, it is imperative you believe in Jesus by walking in His ways, in His will, and in His worship!
