The Greatest Politician

In 10 days America will decide on its leader for the next 4 years. Some choose based on who they can relate to most, or who they feel most embodies their ideology and pursues the furthermost of our own personal agendas.

One of the greatest “selling points” put forth by candidates is that they are just like us. They have come from humble beginnings. They are hockey-moms, they know Joe Plumber, and they have been through our struggles.

I know one guy who deserves everyone’s vote. He seems to have much more evidence of actually being one of us normal people...

He was born in a small town, to a blue collar working class mom and dad, He never went to college, and never received any formal education or training. He was a man of many sorrows. He never owned more than one home. He never made his first million, still doesn't have that two story house with a white picket fence, two dogs and a cat.

He started a new career by asking a few fishermen, a teenage boy, and a tax collector to help him. He campaigned throughout the countryside on foot, spreading his message of Change.
The people he came to help spit on him, beat him, refused to recognize the legitimacy of his message. They told him he was evil, satanic, and a nobody.

In his "campaign rallies" he pleaded with his listeners to embrace change and reject the stereotypes and norms of their society. He used historical references to prove his point and verify his message of change. He gave specific concrete examples of the mission he will accomplish. He never made fun of the oppressed, he never maligned the victimized.
He never abused his power. He never faulted his strength. He never forced himself on anyone. He won over the crowd with love and self sacrifice. He pursued justice and was murdered for it. He pursued peace and was beaten for it. With an army at his disposal he decided that your interests and mine were more important than a military victory. He laid aside his power to see to it that you and I receive what we so desperately need, reconciliation.

He is Jesus. His message is the ultimate Change. He is the ultimate Maverick. His sacrifice was that of the highest price. It cost him everything to give you and me all things. Every struggle you and I face He made the answer for. He created the ultimate bail-out to rescue us from darkness. He implemented a stimulus plan that works. The cost of that plan He paid for. He is our peace our hope and lover. He is Jesus.
