I hope you voted today! I believe elections and issues matter too much for us to sit by and do nothing.
But the issue of sitting things out doesn’t stop after Election Day. In fact, there’s a bigger issue that a lot of people try to passively sit out on.
Matthew 27:24 says, “When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it.”
Jesus was on trial, about to be crucified even though He is perfect and sinless. Pilate knew Jesus didn’t deserve death but gave into the crowd. He washed his hands and tried to move on.
Maybe that’s where you’re at. Maybe you know Jesus is God and wants to be your Savior, but you keep choosing your lifestyle over coming to Jesus. Or maybe you’re hoping the issue will just go away. But Jesus really does love you too much to ignore you.
Maybe you’re a Christian but you keep “washing your hands” of Jesus as He calls you to take the next step of growth and service to your Savior.
Today’s the perfect day for Americans to cast our vote politically and the perfect day for everyone everywhere to take the next step with Jesus.
