My Lord and Politics...

So how do you think Jesus would respond to the moder day political environment.
Would He vote? Would he run for office? Would Jesus seek to ascertain the felt needs of the voting public and develop a social service program? Would Jesus be for a national health care initiative? What would be His position on Iraqi troop withdrawal. We know Jesus would be pro-life, but what about His position on immigration? Would Jesus even be an American if He had the choice? Well of course, there is no doubt He would vote for Huckabee, but that is a different blog...

I don't even know if these questions are valid to ask of our Lord (The idiom, "there are no stupid questions" does not seem to be true with our Lord).

But for discussion sake, do these texts give us insight as to the mind of Christ on such matters?

Matthew 22:21

1 Peter 2:17

1 Timothy 2:1-2

He is beyond political ideology. He is the one and only true potentate(1 Timothy 6:15). He is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. The commander of the Army of the Lord (Joshua 5:14-15). His Kingdom is not of this world (John 18:36) and we His servants need not wrestle against flesh and blood (Eph 6:12).

Christ is all.
