One side of politics supports the poor, which Jesus said we should do. Another side is largely against the killing of innocent unborn children, a righteous cause. One side sees salvation in greedy free enterprise. The other sees salvation in heavy-handed government programs. So then, which side should a Christian vote for? Both sides are weak and strong on issues important to the kingdom of heaven. The choice is difficult. It is not the church’s job to tell people who to vote for. The church has a job in politics as prophet to both sides of power. When Jesus rode into town on a colt (Mark 11:1-11) the crowds understood where our real hope comes from. They shouted “Hosanna in the highest.” All human efforts fail miserably. Real salvation only comes from one place, the highest of all, heaven.
