Perspective on Historical Event

I will start this post with two statements to understand my prespective from yesterday's events. 1. I come from a long line of liberals and democrats so that will color to some extent who I am today. 2. I am an evangelical Christian who believes in the Bible, which is manifested in Chirst Jesus.  I am a fan of Barack Obama as I feel that he can bring about things in this country that align with who Christ is. However, as a follower of Christ I do not put my hope in anyone but Jesus. Not today, not tomorrow, not ever.  I am called to be part of the physical and spiritual manifestation of Jesus so that when I encounter others that can see the character of Christ in me.  It is good to be encouraged by the historical nature of having a person of color be elected in this nation with such a long and deep history of racism. It is also understandable for those who supported John McCain to feel disappointed at the direction of the country.  So whether you are encourged or discouraged by last night's worldly events, please keep in mind we are neither democrat nor republican, black or white, male or female but we are one in Christ.  As Mr. Obama said last night we have a lot of work to do, he was right. So I ask everyone to go out and build the kingdom brick by brick so that the world can see the true beacon of hope which is Jesus Christ. Remember, Jesus came not to be served but TO SERVE. Who have you served this week?

I love you all.
