f"-ROM THE PREACHER:"[
“Jesus a Sandinista” read the
headlines on the editorial page of a
£ recent Sunday edition of the Caller-
Times. As one reads the article, it
I becomes clear that the author of a
new book dealing with Central
America states that Jesus was a
communist. The author states that
I “Jesus of Nazareth was the first
Sandinista, an avowed Communist
I whose revolution collapsed because
_ it was a ‘communist island’ in an
economic sea characterized by ex-
ploitation of the poor. For any
Christian to claim to be anti-
communist, without doubt, constitutes the great scandal of our »
■ century.”
Such a claim runs counter to what we read of Jesus and His early i
disciples. Further, the author of the book claims that Jesus, the Prince $
m of Peace advocated violence as the way to bring about change. If this, is .
true, why did not Jesus lead a revolt against the Roman government |
which was one of the most repressive governments of all time. Not only I
| did Jesus not lead a revolt but he did not command His apostles to bring' li
•m about violent change. On the contrary, Jesus, through His apostles, |p
taught His disciples to acknowledge the government of Rome and that '
I they could only violate the law of the land when it would force them to fej
| violate the law of God (Romans 13; 1 Timothy 2; 1 Peter 2; Acts 5). ■■
What about John 18:36, you may ask? Here is a passage where 1
Jesus makes it clear that His kingdom was not one that was bent on |
violent overthrow of earthly kingdoms. Jesus says: “My kingdom is not, ||
of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants
fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom '
not from hence.” The author of the book arbitrarily dismisses this
passage as false. He tells us that this is a-mistranslation, hoked-up by 1
‘escape theologists’ who wish us to focus on some future paradise. He ||
states, “Jesus never said his kingdom is not of this world. It is so simple |
that it is unthinkable that this text can have been appealed to in good Ss
faith for centuries in order to place the kingdom in another world when *
the exact opposite is explicitly taught in all the other texts of the Old and |i
New Testaments.” For one to get this idea out of the teachings of the |
Old and New Testaments regarding the kingdom is to read into the text |
what is patently absent.
If this is not blasphemous heresy, 1 fail to see what, could be called |
such. To align Jesus with the Communists, after all of the oppression |
that they have brought to mankind, is blatant false teaching and con- p
trary to all that is taught about Christ and His kingdom in both the Old ' '
and New Testaments.
