Could Jesus Christ Be Elected to the White House?
Jesus Christ remains one of the most respected leaders-as well as one of the most controversial- the world has ever known. Most people acknowledge He was good; many believe He was a great man. If He were on earth today, a fascinating question to ponder is whether the American people would ever elect Him to be president of the United States.
The question isn't that far-fetched. After all, He said He was destined to rule the Kingdom of God, bearing authority over the earth. The Bible calls Him King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
So could He be a successful president?
The short-and possibly surprising answer-is no. Americans would not tolerate Jesus of Nazareth in the White House.
We can reach no other conclusion when we examine the electoral process and the priorities the American people use in selecting their president and contrast that to the platform Jesus would advocate. Americans want religious freedom (or freedom from religion), freedom of choice to select abortion for unwanted pregnancies and freedom to enjoy entertainment-including films, music, books and television drenched with violence and sex-for its pleasurable diversions. Many Americans demand unrestrained sexual freedom between consenting adults. They want and fully expect unhindered and total freedom of speech.
