The Brave Men and Women on Our Airwaves

Comedy central is coming out with a show about Jesus, called JC.  It is about Jesus living in New York because he is fed up with his father for various reasons. 

I have to say that I am amused that these “brave” souls who consider themselves equal-opportunity offenders are so quick to ridicule Christianity, then back down when their lives are threatened by Muslims who take it to heart when their prophet is depicted in a bad way.  They cower, because the Muslims threaten to kill them for their blasphemous depictions.  Christianity is an easy target for Comedy Central and the writers of this show, because it poses no danger to them.  Christianity calls its followers to Love their enemies and never do them harm, just as Jesus Himself loved and forgave those who were driving the nails into His hands and feet while He was being brutally crucified.  The love of God is so great that even while we are/were still enemies to God, He died for us.
 
In most cases, the people who criticize the Christian faith are the ones that most fear it.  Their attempts to ridicule, minimize, and do away with Christianity end up simply revealing their fear.  I pray for these people.  I pray that they would realize that while they think they are greater than God and getting away with their mockery, God is actually having mercy and showing love towards them, with the desire that they would turn to Jesus as their Lord and savior.  It is the kindness of God that leads man to repentance, not the retaliation of God's people.  God never loses a battle; He always wins and He always wins through love.

For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.  Romans 5:10


Or do you think lightly of the riches of His kindness and tolerance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance? Romans 2:4
