Wrong Choice

We put a lot of effort into getting the right political party elected. Television networks devote considerable time to debates about which political party will be best for the country. Businesses spend money supporting the party that they like the most. Even Christians get caught up in this scramble and try to work out which political party Jesus would support.

All this confusion misses the point. Every political party is in the business of law-making and they all make human law. We are arguing about the wrong decision. The really significant choice is between human law and God’s law, and this is not a difficult choice. When we choose between two political parties, we are choosing between two bad options. Political parties create human law, and human law come a very poor second to God’s law. I cannot understand why Christians would support it.
