My Vote Is For Jesus
Luke 23:13-22
13 Then Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people, 14 said to them, “You have brought this Man to me, as one who misleads the people. And indeed, having examined Him in your presence, I have found no fault in this Man concerning those things of which you accuse Him; 15 no, neither did Herod, for I sent you back to him; and indeed nothing deserving of death has been done by Him. 16 I will therefore chastise Him and release Him” 17 (for it was necessary for him to release one to them at the feast).
18 And they all cried out at once, saying, “Away with this Man, and release to us Barabbas”— 19 who had been thrown into prison for a certain rebellion made in the city, and for murder.
20 Pilate, therefore, wishing to release Jesus, again called out to them. 21 But they shouted, saying, “Crucify Him, crucify Him!”
22 Then he said to them the third time, “Why, what evil has He done? I have found no reason for death in Him. I will therefore chastise Him and let Him go.” (NKJV)
We are in the last few days before it is time to vote. There have been many debates, accusations, arguments and lies shared on all the candidates running for office, especially the office of President. I’m not here to convince you one way or the other on which presidential candidate to vote for. However, standing here as a soldier for God, I am asking and imploring that you vote for Jesus. In doing so, it will help you cast your vote (or confirm your vote if voted early) on the people that most align to your Christian values.
