But be very slow to sign Jesus up for your political causes; His kingdom of not of this world. Remember that no amount of political action is going to solve the real problem with the human race, and never forget that as pressing as our immediate needs can seem, Jesus is still more concerned about lost sinners than He is about lost money.

Jesus would tell them to take a bath and get a job, you losers.
Yes, well, cleanliness is next to Godliness. I notice when I take a shower, people are more accepting of me than when I don’t. Good point.
Oh, Jesus would most definitely be there preaching the same message he preached 2000 years ago. And the OWS crowd would most definitely try to crucify him for it.
Yeah...maybe we need a “WWJND” button......”What would Jesus NOT do”.....
“Would Jesus be in Zuccatti Park?...”
Not without a hazmat suit.
I think that the OWS protesters, more than anything, need to be prayed for.
It would be nice to have a concerted effort to pray for this whole situation, and for the salvation of souls.
I’ve seen leftist movements first hand - they are worldly at best, and violently anti-Christian at worst.
Ding~! Ding~! Ding~! We have a winner~!
I bet these are the people who would have called for Barabus to be freed
>>>I think that the OWS protesters, more than anything, need to be prayed for.>>>
I am a Christian, Protestant, and Seventh day Adventist. In that order. And I have read and studied the Bible including education and college for I guess......40 something years.
And this is something I have struggled with. At one point are prayers in vain. Not sure. Jesus talked about casting pearls before swine, he talked about wiping the dust off your feet if a town rejects you and move on......etc. etc.
Just saying........
Careful now ...
See my tagline
If Jesus were there and by His divine grace, created enough food to feed the crowd from a basket of bread along with a couple of fish, the OWS crowd:
1) Complain that the bread wasn’t organically grown
2) Argue that the fish ‘rights’ were violated
3) Do a Mic Check to ensure that the food was accepted by all
4) Bitch that Jesus didn’t create a Starbuck Latte instead
5) protest that Jesus wasn’t wearing a CoExist Tee-shirt so not to offend the Muslims in attendance.
6) Claim that Jesus was just a myth
7) Demand the authorities throw Jesus out due to their belief in Separation of Church and state
8) Try to place Jesus in a jar of urine as an symbol of art
9) Argue that Obama was actually the real Messiah
10) Crucify Jesus because he is a Jew, and jews run the evil banks that created all the worlds problems.
No, but he would spell it correctly.
I guess I look at the example of Elisabeth Elliott - her husband was slaughtered by a native tribe.
She went back in and won them over.
It depends on whose kingdom you are living for on this earth, I think.
I would like OWS to be defeated in the sense of stopping their illegal behavior and in the political realm, but I sincerely suspect this is spiritual warfare as much as anything. The devil is completely rejoicing in the deaths of the drug-addicted at these things. I’d prefer not to join him.
He might even have a tank of DDT strapped to his back to spray them down and prevent spread of disease. The New Testament is full of examples of how Jesus used the technology available to him at the time.
“You say Zuccotti I say Zucatti...”
He very well might have been. This crowd is in bad need of hearing some appropriate parables.
