“None of the candidates are Jesus. No matter who wins, Jesus is still Lord.”
Good, positive article about Christianity and the election: https://www.patheos.com/blogs/leadershiponfire/2024/08/eight-christian-thoughts-for-election-season/
The important points:
The massive political divide does not represent the average Christian.
None of the candidates are Jesus.
No matter who wins, Jesus is still Lord.
No matter who wins, it’s not the end of the world.
Christians don’t need favorable conditions to be believers.
Christian values don’t change or rely on a political party.
Regardless of what is going on, we are called to be believers.
Do not be afraid.
“The outcome of this election does not have to determine the morality we, as Christians, embrace for ourselves. It’s just as important who we are today as who we will be on November 5, November 6, and beyond. Scripture never tells us to embrace a political worldview, but to offer the world the hope of for a better world. We can proclaim the Kingdom of God in virtue, value, and rule right now, regardless of who is in office. Let’s remember where our true citizenship lies.”
This article also was encouraging with a Biblical focus on how to pray for our country: https://www.christianity.com/wiki/prayer/how-should-we-pray-for-our-country-and-the-upcoming-election.html
