Jesus is the only savior
To the editor:
As I watch TV and listen to all of the hype about what happened at the end of President Donald Trump’s service to our country, my heart is saddened. Donald J. Trump did many great things for our county and all Americans benefited in some way for the things he accomplished. It is hard for me to believe that his accomplishments are so soon forgotten.
Approximately one million protesters came to Washington, D.C., hoping that with their presence they might change the outcome of the election. But many knew it would not change anything but they wanted their support for President Trump to be known.
Most were there to show support but others had come with the intent to cause trouble and a few hundred were caught up in the mob. I remember another time in history when men were caught in a mob — it was on the day some leaders of the time wanted Jesus to die and many joined in the shout “Crucify Him.”
Just one week earlier they had marched in a crowd and wanted Jesus crowned king but many from that crowd wanted him to die.
I wonder, “Are we like the crowd that straddled both sides of the fence?” This should never be.
Trump was just a man, a man with good intentions, but he was never to be America’s savior. Most supporters that showed up Jan. 6 did not come with the intent to cause violence (which led to innocent people dying and many others injured). We the people should not blame anyone except the people that fell in with mob rule, because if anyone of us was in their shoes we could do the same (follow the mob).
This county is almost split down the middle on our desires for America — some are good but many are bad. If we do not step away from the horror of this rhetoric and begin to call upon the true Savior for America (Jesus Christ) our country will surely forfeit freedoms we have all known and enjoyed. Our hope is only in one Savior and that is the one who humbled himself and allowed the mob to have Him crucified some 2,000 years ago. But that wasn’t His end. He rose from death to live forever. (He is the only Savior we should look to for our help in America.)
For any non-believer, just read about this man in the greatest history book ever written — the Bible.
