Dear Friends:
There has been much talk in the press and on radio and television recently about how well the political candidates are able to get “their” constituencies to the polls to vote — young, old, soccer moms, Latinos, Prius drivers, African-Americans, movie stars, stock brokers, steel workers, college kids, people still looking for Harold Stassen, potbellied guys with baseball caps, new dealers, fair dealers, square dealers, car dealers, Elvis impersonators and Hoffa exonerators. Everyone seems to have a constituency. They are all encouraged to get out and vote. Their vote will make a difference.
On March 23 you will cast a vote. Rain or shine, hot or cold, windy or calm the polling station will be opened. There will only be one issue.
It will be an “up” or “down” vote.
For a time he was the darling of the crowds. They cheered him and encouraged him. For a time he ate with the crème de la crème of society. They even tolerated his bringing an odd assortment of the lower class and the poor into their homes. But that ended. One day the crowds swept him into the capital city.
But then the cheering stopped.
They drifted away. They turned on him. They pressured the politicians to condemn him. He was beaten, led away in chains, mocked with a crown of thorns.
They killed him.
Judicial murder.
On March 23 there will be a referendum on Jesus. If you think they were right you will stay away from the polling station. You will say “others will need my place in line” or “my vote won’t count” or “I rarely vote, I’d be a hypocrite to vote today.” If you think they were right it will be easy for you. Any excuse will do. Just don’t vote.
If you think they were wrong about Jesus you know where the polling station is located. You don’t even have to be a registered voter to have your vote count. Vote. March 23. |
