Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
We live in times of deep turmoil. We see the values we cherish being mocked and the family under assault. In this storm, your heart seeks a shelter, a strong man to build a wall against the flood. But in the silence of prayer, a gentle voice asks us: "Upon whom do you lean when you seek to save My Kingdom?"
1. The Proof of Love: Obedience, Not Alliance
Many say they choose such a leader out of love for God and His values. Yet, Christ left us a simple and unshakable test to measure that love:
“Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.” (John 14:21)
The Message: If we choose a leader who systematically breaks Christ’s commands—truthfulness, gentleness, purity, love for enemies—under the pretext of "protecting" us, we are actually forsaking Christ. We cannot claim to love God while championing pride and cruelty for the sake of political power.
2. The Temptation of the Sword in Gethsemane
Peter drew his sword out of a sincere desire to protect Jesus. He wanted to stop the "apocalypse" of that night through force. But what did Christ tell him?
“Put your sword back in its place, for all who draw the sword will die by the sword.” (Matthew 26:52)
Christ whispers to us: "Do you wish to bring about morality through hatred? If your victory depends on a clenched fist, then it is not My victory."
3. The Kingdom That Is Not Voted Into Power
Jesus stood before Pilate and said:
“My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight...” (John 18:36)
The Message: When you place your hope in a political "anointed one" who promises protection in exchange for your silence in the face of chaos, you lose the only power that matters: The Power of the Spirit.
4. The Trap of Judas and the Call to Love
Judas wanted a Christ who would reign on earth right now. But Jesus teaches us the narrow way:
“Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you...” (Matthew 5:44)
If we choose a leader who teaches us to crush our enemies with passion, we abandon the path of Jesus. You cannot save Christianity by violating the core commandment of Christ.
Conclusion
Apocalypse is not avoided by the ballot, but by repentance. A leader who uses prayer as a political shield while provoking death and chaos is not a savior, but a mirror of our fears. Christ calls us back: "Do not trust in the powerful. I have overcome the world, not by the sword, but by the Cross."
