What Jesus was not ... a patriot. When a Roman Centurion asked Him to heal His slave, but not come under his roof because he was not worthy, Jesus said "I have not found such faith in all Israel!" This likely ruffled many Jewish feathers ... after all, the Romans were the oppressor. But borders didn't matter to Christ. What mattered was life, love, faith, and obedience. We need to remember His compassion, and follow in His footsteps.

This was so good, right to the point and logical! Many in the church seem to assume we are to be conservative only. Thank you for this commentary.
