What Would Jesus Do?

It is hard to read

Their words cut like knives

Health care is not a right

If you’re sick or older

Pay more for your care

Pull yourself up by your bootstraps!

You cannot afford it?

Nobody dies from lack of care

Wait unit you’re really sick

Then go to the ER

They can’t turn you away

You can die there

And yet these same people

Good Christians that they are

Fight hard for their religious freedom

Their right to discriminate

Against anyone who is different

They say it’s God’s will

What would Jesus do?

Would he recognize these Christians?

Perhaps he’d call them Pharisees

Where is the love that Jesus displayed?

Jesus hung out with society’s unwanted

Tax collectors, prostitutes, lepers

He healed the sick, even on the Sabbath

Jesus showed us what love looks like

He cared for the poor and chastised the rich

This carpenter’s son was a rebel in his day

Jesus challenged the authorities

And showed us how to live with others

We must fight for God’s Kingdom

Resist!
