It is an interesting question that keeps getting thrown around lately by the media. Would Jesus be one of the 99%, would He be a socialist, would He be political activist, would He be feeding all of the hungry and providing shelter for all of the homeless, would He be righting all of the wrongs and setting straight all of the evil ones? What would He be doing?
Well, if you believe the Word of God, Jesus came to us about 2,000 years ago in the flesh to carry out His mission upon this earth - to be the fulfillment of the promise foretold long ago.
And in truth, He is also here today – through the power of His Spirit and through the working of His body (the church)!
He has not left us unawares as some might think but He has provided us with His Word, as well as His Spirit, to enable us to do what Jesus has for us to do today! He has called us to be His ambassadors to represent Him to this lost and dying world.
But we must remember why He came to earth in the first place – to fulfill the promise made by God that He would make a way to restore the relationship between mankind and Himself – by His sacrifice the veil was torn and the Holy of Holies was now ‘open’ to those who believe by faith – we could again walk and talk with God – man redeemed from his sin by God’s mercy, restored by His grace and new life bestowed with the hope and assurance of eternal life in His heaven.
His Word of Truth tells us that we are, as we walk upon this earth, to share this truth with all that might hear! So what would Jesus be doing – sharing the grace and truth of God with all who would hear…because that is what He has called us to do – preach the word and make disciples! And if we live by faith and abide in Him His power will be revealed through us for all to see.
